Book Synopsis Zimbabwe's New Diaspora by : JoAnn McGregor
Download or read book Zimbabwe's New Diaspora written by JoAnn McGregor and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zimbabwe’s crisis since 2000 has produced a dramatic global scattering of people. This volume investigates this enforced dispersal, and the processes shaping the emergence of a new "diaspora" of Zimbabweans abroad, focusing on the most important concentrations in South Africa and in Britain. Not only is this the first book on the diasporic connections created through Zimbabwe’s multifaceted crisis, but it also offers an innovative combination of research on the political, economic, cultural and legal dimensions of movement across borders and survival thereafter with a discussion of shifting identities and cultural change. It highlights the ways in which new movements are connected to older flows, and how displacements across physical borders are intimately linked to the reworking of conceptual borders in both sending and receiving states. The book is essential reading for researchers/students in migration, diaspora and postcolonial literary studies.
Download or read book Deviant Destinations written by Rose Jaji and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-10-22 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Deviant Destinations: Zimbabwe and North to South Migration, Rose Jaji critiques and challenges assumptions made about migration between the global North and South. Zimbabwe does not conform to the conventional profile of a destination country, yet it is home to migrants from the global North. Jaji examines the dynamics and contradictions of transnational migration in Zimbabwe, how migrants challenge the migration lexicon in which countries and mobile populations are categorized, and the socioeconomic division of urban space. This book is recommended for students and scholars of migration studies, sociology, anthropology, African studies, and political science.

Book Synopsis Migrant Remittances and Household Survival in Zimbabwe by : Daniel Tevera
Download or read book Migrant Remittances and Household Survival in Zimbabwe written by Daniel Tevera and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2008-12-31 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Migrant remittances are now recognised as an important source of global development finance and there is increasing evidence that international remittances have considerable developmental impacts. The contribution of remittances to GDP in many developing countries is significant and has shown a steady increase over the past decade. However, while there is a consensus that remittance flows to Africa are increasing, little attention has been paid to the impact of these transfers on poverty alleviation, primarily because of data deficiencies at the household level. Despite their obvious magnitude, accurate data on remittance flows to Zimbabwe is unavailable or inaccessible. In an attempt to address such data deficiencies, SAMP devised the household-level Migration and Remittances Survey (MARS) which was administered in several SADC countries, including Zimbabwe. The MARS study was implemented in Zimbabwe in 2005 and surveyed 723 urban and rural households.

Book Synopsis Zimbabwean Communities in Britain by : Christopher Roy Zembe
Download or read book Zimbabwean Communities in Britain written by Christopher Roy Zembe and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines why Zimbabwean immigrants in Britain should be viewed as a product of ethno-racial identities and prejudices developed and nurtured during the colonial and post-colonial phases of Zimbabwe’s history. In the absence of shared historic socio-economic or cultural commonalities, the book will tackle the key question: ‘Are Zimbabweans in Britain demarcated by race and ethnicity an imagined community?’ Through an analysis of personal interviews, and secondary and primary sources, it identifies and engages historical experiences that had been instrumental in constructing diasporic identities and integration processes of Zimbabwean immigrants. With most literature tending to create perceptions that Zimbabwean immigrants are a monolithic community of Blacks, the book’s comparative analysis of Blacks, Whites, Coloureds and Asians unveils a multi-racial community fragmented by historic racial and ethnic allegiances and prejudices. It is essential reading for scholars and researchers interested in migration, African Diaspora, and colonial and post-colonial studies.
Book Synopsis Zimbabwe's Migrants and South Africa's Border Farms by : Maxim Bolt
Download or read book Zimbabwe's Migrants and South Africa's Border Farms written by Maxim Bolt and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-09-25 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Zimbabwean crisis, millions crossed through the apartheid-era border fence, searching for ways to make ends meet. Maxim Bolt explores the lives of Zimbabwean migrant labourers, of settled black farm workers and their dependants, and of white farmers and managers, as they intersect on the border between Zimbabwe and South Africa. Focusing on one farm, this book investigates the role of a hub of wage labour in a place of crisis. A close ethnographic study, it addresses the complex, shifting labour and life conditions in northern South Africa's agricultural borderlands. Underlying these challenges are the Zimbabwean political and economic crisis of the 2000s and the intensified pressures on commercial agriculture in South Africa following market liberalization and post-apartheid land reform. But, amidst uncertainty, farmers and farm workers strive for stability. The farms on South Africa's margins are centers of gravity, islands of residential labour in a sea of informal arrangements.
