The Making of a Diasporic Muslim Family in East Africa

Gujaratis are renowned for their mercantile skills and mobility. It is therefore not surprising that they enjoy a ubiquitous presence in the global Indian diaspora. My extended family, the Kassim Lakha clan, for example, now spans f ve continents with some members exclaiming they even have one of their clansmen living ‘down under’ in Australia! Considering the family is scattered all over the world, it is dicult to keep track of where certain members reside at any point in time.
