This article explores Norwegian-Somali parents’ motivation for returning to Somalia, how life has unfolded in the face of their return and how they are preparing for their future return to Norway. The article is a result of an ethnographic study of Norwegian-Somali returnees in Somalia. The analysis reveals that the desire to avoid Norwegian government surveillance of families served as an important backdrop for their return to Somalia. The motivations for returning to Somalia were also related to experiences of stigmatisation in Norway and the complexity of belongings to Norway and Somalia. The study suggests that parents work towards strengthening their belonging to both Somalia and Norway. The study further highlights that, by moving, the parents perceive that their children will be proud of their Somaliness and bond with family members in Somalia. To maintain a belongingness to Norway, parents actively work towards cultivating their children’s Norwegianness by creating a Norwegian school, celebrating Norwegian Constitution Day and emphasising Norwegian cultural repertories in their everyday lives.

The voluntary sector is a strong pillar in Norwegian society and has in recent years gained increasing attention as an arena for integration. Though voluntary activities can be valuable door openers for (recently arrived) immigrants, they may, under certain circumstances, contribute to minoritization processes. In this exploratory article, I will investigate social connections and relations between (Norwegian) volunteers and immigrant participants based on a focus group with eight participants involved in a community centre in a Norwegian town through analysing the volunteers’ ideas of how the voluntary sector can contribute to integration processes of immigrants. Special attention will be paid to some of the participants’ behaviour towards the only immigrant participating in the focus group, as this behaviour may reflect minoritizing processes. This article aims to contribute towards a more nuanced picture of what voluntary activities may achieve in terms of integration processes and to bring to light potential risks of creating unequal power relations in the social connections between (Norwegian) volunteers and immigrant participants and facilitating minoritizing processes.

TO CITE THIS ARTICLE: Kvalvaag, AM. 2022. Book review of Gullikstad, Berit, Kristensen, Guro Korsnes and Sætermo, Turid Fånes (eds.) 2021. Fortellinger om integrering i norske lokalsamfunn [Narratives of Integration in Norwegian Local Communities]. Oslo: Universitetsforlaget. 292 pp. Nordic Journal of Migration Research, 12(2), pp. 251–254. DOI: https://doi. org/10.33134/njmr.530 Studying integration at the local level, Fortellinger om integrering i norske lokalsamfunn provides various perspectives that contextualize, challenge, and nuance national narratives of immigrant integration in Norway. The volume is edited by Professor Berit Gullikstad, Professor Guro Korsnes Kristensen, and postdoc and senior researcher Turid Fånes Sætermo, all of whom are based at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Contributions are the result of five research projects at three Norwegian institutions.1 Each contribution addresses integration, narratives as a methodological term, and local communities and societal formations. In the introductory chapter, the editors position the book within international research on integration and specifically the local turn in integration research (Meissner & Heil 2021). The contributions are based on data collection from smaller cities and towns in rural and coastal municipalities or what is often called ‘District Norway’ (p. 14), which carries a connotation of sparsely populated, rural areas located some distance from the largest cities in Norway: in particular, Oslo (SNL 2019).

The concept of the migrant’s body constructs of layers and perspectives. The intimacy and privacy of the body are inseparable from the social, economic and political nature of it. The Asian Migrant’s Body. Emotion, Gender and Sexuality succeeds in taking account of each of these aspects. This book comprises of eight scientific chapters that bring anthropological, sociological and psychological scholarly views together. The volume begins with Pardis Madhavi’s Chapter 1 on same-sex relations among migrant workers, which is an invigorating contribution to non-heteronormative scholarly literature on migration and sexuality. Some of the informants in her study have an interesting approach to the issue, as they seek to detach sexual politics from identity politics. Although sexuality is an important aspect of their identity, they wish to be associated more through their activism. For them, migration is a political act and in their search for a de-politicised space, they continue to participate in political acts such as LGBTIQ activism. In Chapter 2, ‘Bodies at Work’, Denise L. Spitzer examines female migrant beer sellers in South East Asia. It brings to the fore how the beer sellers encounter challenging of their boundaries, agencies and subjectivities. The objectifying treatment begins in the recruitment process by their employers and continues by their customers as they work. Importantly, Spitzer highlights that despite the stigma attached to their bodies as a consequence of
