This article explores the paradoxical processes in how young Oromo refugee women negotiate identity and cohesion in a globalized space. It argues that these women's experiences reveal the interplay of local and global forces of identity and cohesion.The myth that contemporary migration has diversified and expanded the pool from which people choose intimate partners is challenged, and the multiple boundaries of gender, race, class, sexuality, ethnicity, and nationality interweaving in this pool of choice are critically analyzed. Implications for feminist social work practice are discussed.
