Product Information

Changing from child to young adult is difficult everywhere. But to experience childhood in continuous flight from conflict, then move into adolescence as a refugee in a radically different culture, is a more than usually complicated transition for teens and for their parents, communities, teachers, and social workers. Improvised Adolescence explores how teenagers from southern Somalia, who spent much of their childhood in East African refugee camps, are adapting to resettlement in the American Midwest. The collapse of the Somali state in 1991, and subsequent chaos in the Horn of Africa, disrupted the lives of these young people educationally, culturally, and developmentally. Folklorist Sandra Grady has intermittently observed the lifeworld of these teens-their homes, their entertainment choices, their interaction with classmates and teachers at school, and their plans for the future-for more than seven years to understand the cultural tools they've used in their journey from this disrupted childhood. They negotiate two sets of cultural expectations: in the resettled Somali Bantu community, traditional rites of passage continue to mark the change from child to adult; in the surrounding U.S. culture, an unfamiliar in-between category-"adolescent"-delays adulthood. Offering analysis that is both engaging and theoretically grounded, Grady tracks the emergence in this immigrant community of an improvised adolescence.

Reviews
"An engagingly written, thoughtful text on cultural immersion, the refugee experience, identity, and youth. Her book would make excellent reading for professionals in refugee resettlement agencies, and in courses on lifespan development, adolescence, the anthropology of childhood/youth, multicultural education, family, media, and gender studies, and related disciplines."-- African Studies Quarterly, "Throughout the United States, both large and small cities host resettled refugees, with all the attendant challenges pertaining to education, employment, and social interaction. Sandra Grady's outstanding book should interest a readership well beyond scholars of ethnography."--Erika Brady, author of Healing Logics: Culture and Medicine in Modern Health Belief Systems, Throughout the United States, both large and small cities host resettled refugees, with all the attendant challenges pertaining to education, employment, and social interaction. Sandra Grady's outstanding book should interest a readership well beyond scholars of ethnography."—Erika Brady, author of Healing Logics: Culture and Medicine in Modern Health Belief Systems, This richly detailed exploration of the adaptation of tradition—and of the creation of new identities among Somali Bantu teenagers in America, in particular—will be of great interest not only to folklorists and anthropologists but also to professionals in refugee resettlement agencies and schools in the United States."—Felicia McMahon, author of Not Just Child's Play: Emerging Tradition and the Lost Boys of Sudan, "This richly detailed exploration of the adaptation of tradition--and of the creation of new identities among Somali Bantu teenagers in America, in particular--will be of great interest not only to folklorists and anthropologists but also to professionals in refugee resettlement agencies and schools in the United States."--Felicia McMahon, author of Not Just Child's Play: Emerging Tradition and the Lost Boys of Sudan
