This book is an ethnography of urban-to-urban migration and its
role in middle-class formation in Ethiopia. Through an examination
of the intersections and tensions between physical movement and
social mobility, it considers how young Tigrayan people's migration
between urban centres made them distinct from both international
migrants and non-migrants. Based on fieldwork in Adigrat and Addis
Ababa, it focuses on these young people's notions of progress,
experiences of higher education and ethnic tensions to demonstrate
how their movements enabled them to enhance their economic, social
and symbolic capital while their cultural capital remained largely
unchanged. The book provides new insights into the opportunities
and constraints for upward social mobility and argues that the
emergence of shared characteristics among urban-to-urban migrants
led to the formation of a group that can be described as a middle
class in Ethiopia.
