Deviant Destinations: Zimbabwe and North to South Migration de Rose Jaji

Deviant Destinations: Zimbabwe and North to South Migration

Autor Rose Jaji
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 oct 2019
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.

Recenzii

In her recent book "Deviant Destinations: Zimbabwe and North to South Migration," Rose Jaji, senior lecturer in Sociology at Harare University, pays attention to an unusual type of migration journey. . . Rose Jaji`s book gives an entirely new reading of Zimbabwe, showing how studying migration from the Global North to the Global South can give new insights into the common elements of migration motivations, the place of migrants in a host society and the pitfalls of a containerized understanding of the nation-state. . . . Jaji`s deconstruction of motivations, consequences and territorialisation of common migration containers is vital reading for anyone seeking nuanced debates that go beyond the norm.
This study of Zimbabwe is a timely reminder that there is a lot more to migration than is provided for in the problematic assumptions and binary oppositions about who gets to move where, how, and on whose terms in an interconnected world that is more appropriately characterized by flexible mobility.
Refusing to deal with the obvious, Deviant Destinations is a brave and challenging piece forcing us to rethink global migration in contemporary times.
This book on North-South migration to Zimbabwe is an original work on a most important topic. It turns the tables and breaks from the often referred to Global South/Global North divide. It is set in a solid transnational perspective whilst recognizing the role of the nation state in determining migration, and encourages critical and reflective thinking about migration at a time when it seems to be one of the most controversial issues. Highly recommended!
Rose Jaji's Deviant Destinations has moved the needle in migration studies. This book is fresh, nuanced, informed, and full of the economic and political contradictions that represent the complexities of migration to and from Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe. Jaji insists that Zimbabwe cannot be correctly viewed by simple polarities amidst its heroic and tragic demographic catastrophe.
Deviant Destinations is a valuable addition to debates on migration in Zimbabwe, which is synonymous with emigration.
