The underemployment of young people, deagrarianization, and other phenomena are intertwined with a growing criminalization of displacement and an irregularization of international migration. By debunking the idea that the processes of deciding to migrate are linear, we propose an alternative understanding of what choice means in the context of contemporary migration. We are not asserting that migrant agency is absent, but we argue that uncertainty is often the norm, rather than the exception, and that we need a more dynamic and sophisticated notion of choice as a lens for understanding why and how people migrate. The relationships among mobility-restriction regimes, development interventions, and the individualized way in which people represent their lived (im)mobilities affect migration choices in all three contexts. For those we encountered, it is the present that looks uncertain and the future that offers hope.","PeriodicalId":39703,"journal":{"name":"Africa Today","volume":"488 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135532117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on ethnographic research at a small Pentecostal church in Kisumu, western Kenya, we present four modes of such material support. This classification lets us examine the provision of church assistance as a subtle balancing act, in which leaders and so-called supermembers seek to bind lay members into greater commitment by projecting institutional dependability while carefully avoiding excessive demands. Rejecting the caricature of the self-enriching charismatic leader and focusing on the intertwinement of religious commitment and class, we offer a fresh examination of churches' mechanisms of welfare assistance beyond a simple vertical/horizontal (or institutional/congregational) binarism.","PeriodicalId":39703,"journal":{"name":"Africa Today","volume":"69 1","pages":"214 - 237"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48638222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It argues that refugee hosting is not merely a humanitarian act, but a complex interplay of domestic interests, political ideologies, and foreign policies. The intertwinement of economic, social, and political factors creates situations in which refugee-related policies and their implementation are fraught with inconsistencies and contradictions that explain varied reactions to refugees from different politiconational backgrounds. Tanzania and Kenya, at various points in their history of hosting refugees as postindependence states, have alternately embraced and rejected specific refugee communities, showing how refugee hosting is not exclusively about the principles of humanitarian law. Reactions to political refugees in Kenya and Tanzania have crystalized in recent times into stringent regimes, as domestic and foreign-policy interests are increasingly formulated in ways that exclude refugees.","PeriodicalId":39703,"journal":{"name":"Africa Today","volume":"69 1","pages":"109 - 88"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46062997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many take the perilous sea route across the Gulf of Aden to war-torn Yemen, mostly unaware of the dangers they will face. This article explores their experiences, relying on oral-history interviews to illustrate the motivations for migration, the dangers migrants face while crossing to Yemen, and the forms of gendered exploitation and violence they face on arrival. By foregrounding their voices and narratives in this understudied migratory pattern, the article draws attention to the systematic human-rights violations that characterize their experiences. Focusing on women's and girls' experiences, it illuminates the ways overlapping vulnerabilities contribute to gender-based violence and exploitation. Finally, it underscores the limits of existing humanitarian provision.","PeriodicalId":39703,"journal":{"name":"Africa Today","volume":"69 1","pages":"190 - 213"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45549915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These Poles, after being hosted by the colonial governments first, eventually came under the mandate of emerging UN refugee organizations that treated Europeans as internationally recognized refugees everywhere in the world. In contrast, fleeing Africans (and Asians) did not fit this category. This distinction had more to do with imperialism and race than with any geographic limitation. Conceptually, the refugee regime rests on the differentiation of refugees and national citizens, while imperial rule differentiated between European citizens and colonized subjects. I want to complicate this by emphasizing that the international refugee regime emerged in a largely imperial world signified by a tripartition into citizen, subject, and European refugee.","PeriodicalId":39703,"journal":{"name":"Africa Today","volume":"69 1","pages":"1 - 109 - 110 - 13 - 133 - 134 - 14 - 161 - 162 - 189 - 190 - 213 - 214 - 237 - 238 - 254 - 255 - 26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48470836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On Tradition, Symbolism, and (South) Afrikanness in Fashion Design: A Conversation with Laduma Ngxokolo 论服装设计中的传统、象征与（南非）非裔性——与拉杜玛·恩克索科洛的对话

As founder of the fashion brand MaXhosa Africa, he has transitioned from enfant terrible to respected international fashion and textile design visionary, constantly producing evocative and compelling looks that mine his Xhosa traditions and histories in the pursuit of producing culturally significant work for a cos-mopolitan audience. He imbues his work with references to Xhosa beading and symbols and the (“secret”) messaging embedded therein, the influence of bold traditional color combinations, brave pattern contrasts, and contem-porized garment silhouettes that mix Afrikan and Western sensibility. The essence of Afrika and the alluring mysteries surrounding cultural production that are embodied in tradition, histories, language, rites and rituals, symbols, and mythologies have become a signature aspect of contemporary Afrikan design. Across the continent, designers in general, and fashion designers in particular, are proudly infusing their work with ideas emanating from these issues, definitive of their individual groupings and ethnicities but also broadly encompassing of their Afrikanness. 2 Ngxokolo’s most recent collection, Lindelwa (We are the ones they have been waiting for) , shown in part at Rakuten Fashion Week in September 2021, signals a collaboration with Japan’s Tokyo Knit combine. Curious about the new trajectory, I engage the designer on this hybrid venture, his thoughts on Afrikanness, and the future of South Afrikan fashion design. Bruce Cadle : adamant that your work reflects aspects of your heritage, Xhosa traditions, and recognition of the symbolic values embedded in rituals, mythologies, your ancestors, and oral histories, right from the very beginning of your career.","PeriodicalId":39703,"journal":{"name":"Africa Today","volume":"69 1","pages":"255 - 263"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47239264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article looks at the migration experiences of three Eritreans who left their region for a safer life elsewhere, each under unique circumstances. Gerezghier, in the 1960s, could rely on his personal skills and luck. Fidel, in the 1970s, could make use of emerging asylum procedures and Western countries' anticommunist refugee policies. Samrawit's fate was more challenging and precarious, in the contemporary context of international refugees' deteriorating status. All three experienced violence, insecurity, and uncertainty. The global context of their personal experiences, however, has changed considerably over the past three generations. To explore the entanglements of individual trajectories with protracted regional conflict, international relations, and an emerging global refugee regime, this article adopts a phenomenological approach, one that takes into account social life-worlds and their zeitgeist.","PeriodicalId":39703,"journal":{"name":"Africa Today","volume":"69 1","pages":"62 - 87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45500563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
