Large-scale displacement - whether caused by war, state-related
political or development projects, different forms of political
violence, structural crisis, or even natural disasters - evokes
many stereotyped assumptions about those forcibly displaced or
emplaced. At the same time there is a problematic lack of attention
paid to those who benefit economically from, manage, or in various
unexpected ways are affected by processes of displacement.In this
highly original volume, based on empirical case studies from across
sub-Saharan Africa, the authors provide fresh insights into the
unexpected changes, complex agency and persistent dynamism entailed
in displacement processes. In doing so, the book explores the
diversity of actors, strategies and practices that reshape the
world in the face (and chronic aftermath) of dramatic moments of
violent dislocation and /or enclosure. An important contribution to
a topic of growing scholarly and policy interest.
