Home truths: how displacement means different things to different people / Kohari, Alizeh   Journal Article
Kohari, Alizeh Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract On an aggravatingly warm evening in Bannu, Aziz Jan is slowly melting into a puddle of sweat. He fans himself with his hands; he tugs at his clothes. Every few minutes, to prevent his palms from slipping, he throws talcum powder from a small box on his tablas - when he pounds on them, little puffs of powder rise into the air and burst before his face. Across the room, a man flinches. "Play a little softly," he calls out. "It's Ramzan."

Local realities and global possibilities: deconstructing the imaginations of aspiring migrants in Senegal / Willems, Roos   Journal Article
Willems, Roos Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract Recent studies show that the numbers of aspiring migrants continue to be on the increase worldwide not only in the typical emigration countries in the South but also in the usual destination countries in the North. Yet, while migration theorists have recently included the micro perspective of individual agency and sociocultural logics in their search for the engine behind the migration flows, far less research has been done on the sociocultural embeddedness of the imaginations of aspiring migrants, most of whom will never migrate. In Senegal, an increasing large number of men and women are very focused on transnational migration. This article tries to unravel the knot as to what lies at the core of this seeming national preoccupation with migration out of Senegal. Its conclusion suggests that the pervasive desire of so many is rooted in the way in which the economic claims of family members and friends are culturally informed.
