In this book the author addresses the tenacity of the nation-state
and how it continues to regulate transnational migration. She
critiques assumptions on motivations embedded in the North-South
dichotomy and shows how motivations transcend the regional divide
with specific reference to non-missionary migrants in Zimbabwe in
relation to South-North migrants. She also addresses Zimbabwe’s
non-conformity to the conventional profile of a destination
country. The circumstances of migrants from the global North living
in Zimbabwe also challenge the migration lexicon in which countries
and mobile populations are named and categorized in an either/or
schematic. The author addresses spatial demarcation of space
premised on the colonial dividend and neoliberalism’s influence
on the organization and occupation of urban space. She specifically
juxtaposes non-missionary migrants’ lives in the gated
communities of Harare with those of missionaries in the low-income
neighborhoods and at a rural hospital. She analyzes transnational
outcomes in relation to the liminality that multi-sited belonging
and cosmopolitanism engender.
