This open access Regional Reader proposes new ways of theorizing
migration in Southern Africa by arguing that traditional western
forms of theorizing do not adequately fit the South-South migration
context. It explores the existing definitions of a 'migrant' with a
view to conceptualise a definition which will speak to the
complexities, envisioning a more inclusive Southern African region.
The book investigates the various levels of migration moving from
the local (rural to urban and urban to rural) to cross border
migration; middle-class versus working-class migrant household
livelihoods; livelihoods procurement versus wage earning; social
capital (networks) and how they make meaning of their circumstances
in a 'foreign' space. It also acknowledges the intertwined issues
of gender and class as important in analyzing migration processes
and the chapters feature both in varying dimensions. As such, the
book provides a great resource for students, academics and policy
makers.
