- Little Mogadishu is based on substantial research (funded by a Leverhulme award) into Nairobi's Eastleigh estate and its residents over a period of 5 years, including 8 months ethnographic fieldwork in the estate between 2011-12, follow-up visits over the following years to Eastleigh and places to which it is connected (including other locations throughout Kenya and Uganda), and in-depth archival research in Nairobi and the UK. Furthermore, it draws an earlier decade of previous research into Somali trade and trade networks in Kenya and beyond through an earlier focus on the stimulant khat, for which Eastleigh is an export hub.
