De er født og opvokset i Danmark og taler dansk. Med deres forældre taler de arabisk. Sammen med vennerne blander de det danske med tyrkiske, arabiske og kurdiske ord. De har været med til at skabe et nyt sprog. Forskerne kalder det multietnolekt, og det er med til at skabe identitet og tilhørsforhold.

Multietnolekt er opstået blandt unge i flere områder i Danmark, hvor der bor mange med anden etnisk baggrund and dansk. Det er ikke, fordi de unge ikke mestrer det danske. Det taler de ofte flydende. Og ifølge Pia Quist, der som lingvist på Københavns Universitet har studeret den nye dialekt på Nørrebro, og er ophavskvinden til begrebet multietnolekt, skifter de unge mellem at tale dansk og multietnolekt, alt efter hvor de er, og hvem de er sammen med. >> les mer (oppdatert link)

Collision of cultures? Somali immigrants share New England’s small-town values

St.Petersburg Times

As almost 1,400 Somali refugees poured in this nearly all-white New England town, the natives weren’t quite sure what to make of them. Here were people who looked different, spoke little English and had little money. And expected this city of 35,000 to find them jobs and places to live.

But these Muslims from Africa, it turned out, shared many of Lewiston’s small-town values. The Somalis wanted to raise their kids in a safe, quiet community where faith was important. As both groups discovered, things as simple as potluck dinners and henna hand painting can go a long way toward bridging a vast cultural divide.

Heather Lindkvist, an anthropologist at Bates College, has studied the local Somali migration to Lewiston, Maine.

Socially conscious hip-hop is worldwide phenomenon

Somali-born rapper K’naan says hip-hop records helped him cope with his country’s civil war, his adolescence as a refugee and his life as an immigrant in North America. “It’s a whole new thing that is happening, even in villages in Africa,” said K’naan, whose music touches on everything from personal empowerment to life in Somalia.

Marc Perry, an anthropologist at the University of Illinois, says despite rap’s commercialization, socially conscious hip-hop is common among immigrants in the West and black populations in such countries as Brazil and South Africa. That’s not surprising given hip-hop’s history, Perry said at a recent symposium at Concordia University called Hip-Hop: Culture of Resistance. >> continue
