Abstract

In the Shabe border region of the Republic of Benin and Nigeria, a combination of transnational political and economic processes has prompted an economic recession and increased competition over economic resources in the borderland. In the wake of economic decline, women and men in the community of Ibere have engaged in struggles over female mobility in the borderland. Debates over women's movements across the international border are being shaped by conceptions of gender, community, and national difference; marketing practices; ritual practice; discourses of sexuality; and cultural constructions of the border.

期刊介绍： Identities explores the relationship of racial, ethnic and national identities and power hierarchies within national and global arenas. It examines the collective representations of social, political, economic and cultural boundaries as aspects of processes of domination, struggle and resistance, and it probes the unidentified and unarticulated class structures and gender relations that remain integral to both maintaining and challenging subordination. Identities responds to the paradox of our time: the growth of a global economy and transnational movements of populations produce or perpetuate distinctive cultural practices and differentiated identities.
