Next Stop Britain: The Influence of Transnational Networks on the Secondary Movement of Danish Somalis

It analyses how the Danish Somalis' transnational social networks in Britain disseminate information about the country whereby an idyllic image of Britain is constructed. This image together with the mere presence of social networks in the country influence the Danish Somalis in their migration decision-making.

It is argued that this uncritical decisionmaking can be seen in relation to the nomadic lifestyle of many Somalis where movement is a natural part of life. Nomadism does however not explain the secondary movement, and the social context and negotiations amongst the individual members of the diverse diaspora are essential to include in the analysis.
