Mind in Africa, Body in Europe:
The Struggle for Maintaining and
Transforming Cultural Identity -
A Note from the Experience of
Eritrean Immigrants in Stockholm: with focus on the Bilin, a 2004 article by Kiflemariam Hamde

their lives by re-constructing their identities - of the sense of who they are, and who they want
to be, which is an ongoing process. This is done by narrating the experiences of African men
and women who live in Sweden and who struggle to both maintain their cultural identity and
at the same time change aspects in their culture due to the context in which they find
themselves
