DESCRIPTION:Nairobi's Eastleigh estate has come to prominence in the last 
 two decades due to its transformation into a global commercial hub\, a tra
 nsformation catalysed by a refugee influx from Somalia in the late 1980s a
 nd early 1990s.  While most focus has been on patterns of mobility connect
 ed with the collapse of the Somali state\, Eastleigh has a much longer his
 tory of migration. This paper draws out these earlier migration patterns t
 hat drew people to the estate from Europe\, the Indian Subcontinent\, the 
 Horn of Africa\, northern Kenya and neighbouring Nairobi estates. By doing
  so\, it shows how Eastleigh has long been marked by connections to elsewh
 ere\, and that these other patterns of migration and diaspora are also imp
 ortant in understanding its remarkable transformation.
