This book follows the lives of a broad swath of Mozambican men,
women, and children-refugees, asylum seekers, liberation leaders,
students, migrant workers-all displaced during the war for
independence from Portugal (1964-1974).
This book is the first study of displaced Mozambican men, women,
and children-from refugees and asylum seekers to liberation
leaders, students, and migrant workers-during the war for
independence from Portugal (1964-1974). Throughout the war, two
distinct communities of Mozambicans emerged. On the one hand, a
minority of students and liberation leaders, congregated in Dar es
Salaam and, on the other, the majority of Mozambicans, who settled
in refugee camps. Joanna T. Tague attends to both these groups by
juxtaposing the experiences of the two. Using a diverse range of
archival materials and oral interviews, she argues that during
decolonization the displaced acted as their own agents and
strategized their own trajectories in exile. Compelling scholars to
reconsider how governments, aid agencies, local citizens, and the
displaced themselves defined, debated, and reconstituted what it
meant to be a "refugee" in Africa during decolonization, this book
ultimately shows how the state of being a refugee could be
generative and productive, rather than simply debilitating and
destructive. Displaced Mozambicans in Postcolonial Tanzania will be
invaluable for students and scholars of African and world
contemporary history.
African Asylum at a Crossroads: Activism, Expert Testimony, and
Refugee Rights examines the emerging trend of requests for expert
opinions in asylum hearings or refugee status determinations. This
is the first book to explore the role of court-based expertise in
relation to African asylum cases and the first to establish a
rigorous analytical framework for interpreting the effects of this
new reliance on expert testimony. Over the past two decades, courts
in Western countries and beyond have begun demanding expert reports
tailored to the experience of the individual claimant. As courts
increasingly draw upon such testimony in their deliberations,
expertise in matters of asylum and refugee status is emerging as an
academic area with its own standards, protocols, and guidelines.
This deeply thoughtful book explores these developments and their
effects on both asylum seekers and the experts whose influence may
determine their fate. Contributors: Iris Berger, Carol Bohmer, John
Campbell, Katherine Luongo, E. Ann McDougall, Karen Musalo, Tricia
Redeker Hepner, Amy Shuman, Joanna T. Tague, Meredith Terretta, and
Charlotte Walker-Said.
