Future-oriented leisure as informal infrastructure in the Zimbabwean diaspora in Britain
This article analyses leisure among Zimbabweans in Britain as a field of practice through which racialised governance, belonging and transnational obligation are negotiated. It adopts a decolonial approach that treats leisure as an analytic for African diasporic life rather than a Western category separate from culture, survival or religion. Drawing on multi-moment ethnography in pubs, churches, domestic gatherings, gochi-gochi (barbecues) spaces…
Introduction
This Special Issue examines the intersections of migration, religion, spirituality and the transnational lives of African youth, offering a decolonial and youth-centred perspective on mobility and belonging. Drawing on comparative, multi-sited ethnography in Nigeria, Zimbabwe, South Africa and the UK, the contributionscentre on young Africans’ agency as they navigate structural inequality, postcolonial legacies, racialised bordering and digital c…
Africa’s clicks to faith
Drawing on digital hybridity, religious assemblages and transnational religion, this article examines how young Nigeriansand Zimbabweans in the UK use digital platforms to participate in transnational religious practices, reclaim marginalised AfricanTraditional Religions (ATRs), and reconfigure belonging and authority. While research on migrant religion has focused on physical congregations, less attention has been given to how digital media resh…
Navigating continuity and change
This paper applies multi-scalar analytical framework to examine religious and spiritual practices among young Nigerian and Zimbabwean youth in the UK. It analyses how religion operates at individual, communal, national, transnational and intergenerational scales. Drawing from multi-sited ethnography and biographical interviews, the findings of this study demonstrate religion as neither an assimilationist tool nor a barrier to integration, but rat…
Reframing the lens
This article reframes transnationalism, the mobilities turn and lived religion by centring African transnational youth. Drawing on comparative multi-sited ethnography in London and Birmingham (UK), Johannesburg (South Africa), Lagos (Nigeria) and Harare (Zimbabwe), and interviews with young people aged 15–35 (n = 169) and key informants (n = 39), it advances three linked interventions: youth-centric transnationalism, layered mobilities and lived …
De-centring pilgrimage studies
This article aims to de-centre the taken-for-granted categories and empirical tendencies in the field of pilgrimage studies by discussing how the phenomenon of neo-Pentecostal journeys and pilgrimage emerges in Africa. Pentecostal Christianity’s rapid growth and development in Africa are now well-known and researched; however, some distinctive patterns of transnational religious circulation and mobilities have so far escaped academic attention. O…
Negotiating diasporic leisure among Zimbabwean migrants in Britain
This article examines, from a theoretical and empirical perspective, the types of diasporic leisure experienced by the Zimbabwean diaspora in Britain through extensive fieldwork, including interviews and participant observation. It extends an emerging body of scholarship concerning the relationship between diaspora and leisure by discussing different conceptualisations of diasporic leisure as homeland-oriented, boundary-crossing, and technologica…
Theorizing Black (African) Transnational Masculinities
Just as masculinity is crucial in the construction of nationhood, masculinity is also significant in the making and unmaking of transnational communities. This article focuses on how black African men negotiate and perform respectable masculinity in transnational settings, such as the workplace, community, and family. Moving away from conceptualizations of black transnational forms of masculinities as in perpetual crisis and drawing on qualitativ…

Transnational Parenting and the Emergence of ‘Diaspora Orphans’ in Zimbabwe
This article explores the emergence of ‘diaspora orphans’ over the course of Zimbabwe’s crisis. The debates over this phenomenon reflect a range of real emotional and practical problems encountered by children and youth with parents abroad. But they also highlight the ambiguity of moral judgments of emigration and émigrés, and the crisis of expectation that assumptions of diaspora wealth have fostered within families and among those remaining beh…
Negotiating and Contesting Gendered and Sexual Identities in the Zimbabwean Diaspora
The transnational and global flows of people, ideas and capital across borders inescapably shape and develop people's gendered and sexual meanings, processes and identities. Drawing on our extended fieldwork, including interviews and participant observation in different social spaces, we seek to examine the negotiation and contestation of gendered and sexual identities among Zimbabwean migrants in Britain. Within transnational diaspora communitie…
Competing meanings of childhood and the social construction of child sexual abuse in the Caribbean
This article examines the dynamic interplay between competing meanings of childhood and the social construction of sexual abuse in the Caribbean. Drawing on qualitative data from a study undertaken in six Caribbean countries, the article suggests that Caribbean childhoods are neither wholly global nor local but hybrid creations of the region's complex historical, social and cultural specificities, real or imagined. As childhood is a concept that …
Modes of incorporation and transnational Zimbabwean migration to Britain
In the last decade, the phenomenal growth of Zimbabwean congregations in Britain, responding to conditions in both the hostland and homeland, has received little scholarly attention. This article, drawing from an in-depth study of Zimbabwean Christians and the modes-of-incorporation framework, examines the ways in which the context of reception in the hostland shape, alter and influence the development of religious transnationalism among migrants…
Religious Transnationalism
This article examines the ways in which mainstream churches engender migrants' maintenance of transnational ties and improve their integration into British society. It uses the Zimbabwean Catholic congregation in Birmingham as a case study. The central thrust of this article is that African diaspora congregations have emerged as public spaces to construct transnational identities and provide alternative forms of belonging, and have reinvented the…
A Fractured Transnational Diaspora
Millions of Zimbabweans living abroad have been described as an emerging diaspora. However, there has been little attempt to question their designation as a diaspora, or indeed, to engage with the more theoretically informed and conceptually rich literature on diaspora. The assumption in this categorisation relies heavily upon popular usage of the term diaspora among Zimbabweans themselves both abroad and in the homeland. However, instead of supp…

Toward a Multisited Ethnography of the Zimbabwean Diaspora in Britain
Classical diaspora scholars have constructed diasporic identities in essentialistic and unitary fashion, with phrases like the “Jewish identity,” “Palestinian identity,” and “Irish identity” denoting migrants as homogeneous ethnic communities. Using the author's multisited ethnographic research among Zimbabweans in Britain, the article explores the diverse ways in which diasporic identities are performed, expressed, and contested in Britain. On t…

Diasporic Repositioning and the Politics of Re-engagement
The power-sharing agreement in Zimbabwe has ushered in a period of engagement between the diaspora and homeland government, marking a distinct change from the hostility that characterised relations over previous years. This article discusses the politics of this repositioning and the character of the new diasporic organisations formed in the wake of the Global Political Agreement to take forward agendas of development and reconstruction at home. …

Competing Meanings of the Diaspora
The diaspora literature has tended to narrow itself to the marking out and placing of boundaries at the conceptual level. While still contributing to the elaboration of the concept of diaspora, this article seeks to answer two questions. What meanings do Zimbabweans in Britain give to their diasporic condition and experience? How do such meanings influence and shape attitudes towards return to the homeland or feelings of belonging to the hostland…
Gendering the Diaspora
This article analyses the performative and lived realities of the Zimbabwean diaspora in Britain. The author explores the way in which both public and private spaces of the diaspora are important arenas in the construction and reconstruction of gendered identities. It is based on multisited ethnography, comprising 33 in-depth interviews and participant observation in four research sites, and draws upon concepts of diaspora and transnationalism as…
