As globalization and transnational encounters intensify, people's
mobility is increasingly conditioned by intimacy, ranging from
love, desire, and sexual liaisons to broader family, kinship, and
conjugal matters. This book explores the entanglement of mobility
and intimacy in various configurations throughout the world. It
argues that rather than being distinct and unrelated phenomena,
intimacy-related mobilities constitute variations of cross-border
movements shaped by and deeply entwined with issues of gender,
kinship, race, and sexuality, as well as local and global powers
and border restrictions in a disparate world.

The influx of African migrants into Europe in recent years has
raised important issues about changing labor economies, new
technologies of border control, and the effects of armed conflict.
But attention to such broad questions often obscures a fundamental
fact of migration: its effects on ordinary life. Affective Circuits
brings together essays by an international group of well-known
anthropologists to place the migrant family front and center.
Moving between Africa and Europe, the book explores the many ways
migrants sustain and rework family ties and intimate relationships
at home and abroad. It demonstrates how their quotidian efforts on
such a mass scale contribute to a broader process of social
regeneration. The contributors point to the intersecting streams of
goods, people, ideas, and money as they circulate between African
migrants and their kin who remain back home. They also show the
complex ways that emotions become entangled in these exchanges.
Examining how these circuits operate in domains of social life
ranging from child fosterage to binational marriages, from
coming-of-age to healing and religious rituals, the book also
registers the tremendous impact of state officials, laws, and
policies on migrant experience. Together these essays paint an
especially vivid portrait of new forms of kinship at a time of both
intense mobility and ever-tightening borders.
How has European identity been shaped through its colonial empires?
Does this history of imperialism influence the conceptualisation of
Europe in the contemporary globalised world? How has coloniality
shaped geopolitical differences within Europe? What does this mean
for the future of Europe? Postcolonial Europe: Comparative
Reflections after the Empires brings together scholars from across
disciplines to rethink European colonialism in the light of its
vanishing empires and the rise of new global power structures.
Taking an interdisciplinary approach to the postcolonial European
legacy, the book argues that the commonly used nation-centric
approach does not effectively capture the overlap between different
colonial and postcolonial experiences across Europe.
