This volume examines gender and mobility in Africa though the
central themes of borders, bodies and identity. It explores
perceptions and engagements around 'borders'; the ways in which
'bodies' and women's bodies in particular, shape and are affected
by mobility, and the making and reproduction of actual and
perceived 'boundaries'; in relation to gender norms and gendered
identify. Over fourteen original chapters it makes revealing
contributions to the field of migration and gender studies.
Combining historical and contemporary perspectives on mobility in
Africa, this project contextualises migration within a broad
historical framework, creating a conceptual and narrative framework
that resists post-colonial boundaries of thought on the subject
matter. This multidisciplinary work uses divergent methodologies
including ethnography, archival data collection, life histories and
narratives and multi-country survey level data and engages with a
range of conceptual frameworks to examine the complex forms and
outcomes of mobility on the continent today. Contributions include
a range of case studies from across the continent, which relate
either conceptually or methodologically to the central question of
gender identity and relations within migratory frameworks in
Africa. This book will appeal to researchers and scholars of
politics, history, anthropology, sociology and international
relations.
