case study: Hofsa is a 24-year old Muslim woman from Somalia. She was able to relocate to the United States when she was 18; she has been living on her own, taking college courses and working since that time. Recently her family has been able to come to the United States and they have joined her in Minneapolis. Her family has had a traumatic time in Somalia, and are having trouble assimilating in the US. They expect Hofsa to work and support them, and always be available to take them where they want to go, to serve as an interpreter, etc. Since Hofsa has been in the States, she is less strict about following the traditional Muslim guidelines that her family practices and this is a constant source of conflict within the family. To make matters even worse, Hofsa has fallen in love with another Somali refugee, which creates a new challenge; he is from a tribe in Somalia that hofsa’s family considers an enemy tribe.
