    Moving Places : Relations, Return and Belonging (2016)
    New York, NY : [s.n.]

    ISBN: 9781785332432

    Abstract: Moving Places draws together contributions from Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Africa, exploring practices and experiences of movement, non-movement, and place-making. The book centers on "moving places": places with locations that are not fixed but relative. Locations appearing to be reasonably stable, such as home and homeland, are in fact always subject to practices, imaginaries, and politics of movement. Bringing together original ethnographic contributions with a clear theoretical focus, this volume spans the fields of anthropology, human geography, migration, and border studies, and serves as teaching material in related programs.

    Making Ubumwe : Power, State and Camps in Rwanda's Unity-Building Project (2015)
    New York, NY : [s.n.]
    Details
    ISBN: 9781782388333
    Language: Undetermined
    Pages: 306 p.
    Edition: 1st edition
    Series Statement: Forced Migration 34
    Keywords: General Anthropology, Refugee & Migration Studies
    Abstract: Since the end of the Rwandan genocide, the new political elite has been challenged with building a unified nation. Reaching beyond the better-studied topics of post-conflict justice and memory, the book investigates the project of civic education, the upsurge of state-led neo-traditional institutions and activities, and the use of camps and retreats shape the "ideal" Rwandan citizen. Rwanda's ingando camps offer unique insights into the uses of dislocation and liminality in an attempt to anchor identities and desired political roles, to practically orient and symbolically place individuals in the new Rwandan order, and, ultimately, to create additional platforms for the reproduction of political power itself.

    Bush Bound : Young Men and Rural Permanence in Migrant West Africa (2015)
    New York, NY : [s.n.]
    Details
    ISBN: 9781782387800
    Language: Undetermined
    Pages: 232 p.
    Edition: 1st edition
    Keywords: General Anthropology, Refugee & Migration Studies
    Abstract: Whereas most studies of migration focus on movement, this book examines the experience of staying put. It looks at young men living in a Soninke-speaking village in Gambia who, although eager to travel abroad for money and experience, settle as farmers, heads of families, businessmen, civic activists, or, alternatively, as unemployed, demoted youth. Those who stay do so not only because of financial and legal limitations, but also because of pressures to maintain family and social bases in the Gambia valley. 'Stayers' thus enable migrants to migrate, while ensuring the activities and values attached to rural life are passed on to the future generations.
