Özet:
This thesis presents the role of the mosque in identity formation among Somali
adolescents in Columbus, Ohio. I conducted my research in the Somali Mosque of
Columbus, the largest ethnically Somali mosque in Columbus, utilizing the methods of
participant observation and intensive interviews. I observed two movements among
adolescents in their identity formation. First, a group of adolescents has developed
Muslim identity from their Somali ethnic and American identities after they attended the
mosque. The second group of adolescents in the mosque has experienced identity conflict
between their Muslim, Somali, and American identities.
