Table of ContentsReviewsSamson Bezabeh builds on Aihwa Ong and others to show how migrant networks and 'cosmopolitanism' in the space of flows of the Indian Ocean, are deeply structured by territorial powers of empire and state. His case of Yemeni traders in Djibouti is fascinating in its own right and wonderfully executed. In Bezabeh's hands it is turned into an eloquent and important argument of taking state formations seriously and refuse the facile opposition of flows versus hierarchies that has marked much of migration studies, and of Indian Ocean studies as well. --Don Kalb, Central European University, Budapest This fine study of Yemeni migration in the Horn of Africa by a brilliant Ethiopian scholar should be a wake-up call for the entire field of Indian Ocean studies. In a powerful critique of tired and overused concepts like 'hybridity, ' 'transnational flows, ' and 'cosmopolitanism, ' which have been routinely used to convey a sense of unity of the Indian Ocean world, Samson Bezabeh brings the state back in--and politics. --Andre Wink, University of Wisconsin-Madison This rich and diverse work is a major step in the creation of a body of social science work on Djibouti that is now in process. It shows why Djibouti should be included in current studies of the Near East and East Africa. It opens new trails and helps us understand aspects of the social history of Djibouti that go well beyond the Yemenis. --Simon Imbert-Vier, Universite de Provence, Aix Marseille Author InformationSamson A.
