Investigating how the fraught political economy of migration
impacts people around the world, Donald Martin Carter raises
important issues about contemporary African diasporic movements.
Developing the notion of the anthropology of invisibility, he
explores the trope of navigation in social theory intent on
understanding the lived experiences of transnational migrants.
Carter examines invisibility in its various forms, from social
rejection and residential segregation to war memorials and the
inability of some groups to represent themselves through popular
culture, scholarship, or art. The pervasiveness of invisibility is
not limited to symbolic actions, Carter shows, but may have
dramatic and at times catastrophic consequences for people
subjected to its force. The geographic span of his analysis is
global, encompassing Senegalese Muslims in Italy and the United
States and concluding with practical questions about the future of
European societies. Carter also considers both contemporary and
historical constellations of displacement, from Darfurian refugees
to French West African colonial soldiers. Whether focusing on
historical photographs, television, print media, and graffiti
scrawled across urban walls or identifying the critique of
colonialism implicit in African films and literature, Carter
reveals a protean and peopled world in motion.
