African Perspectives on South–South Migration
This book investigates the diverse and dynamic forms of migration within Africa. Centring themes of agency, resource flows, and transnational networks, the book examines the enduring appeal of the Global South as a place of origin, transit, and destination. Popular media, government pronouncements, and much of the global research discourse continue to be oriented towards migration from the Global South to the Global North, despite the fact that t…
Unpacking Agency of Adolescent Girls in Combating Child Marriage at Quarit Woreda, Amhara Regional State of Ethiopia
Gendered Employment and Feminization of Migration in the Garment Manufacturing Industry in Ethiopia
“The production lines in the factory are a showcase of biher biheresaboch [nations and nationalities] . . . giggles. . . . They are full of female workers. Of the fifteen of us working in one finishing line, some are from southern region, some are Amhara, Oromos and there is a Garage and a Tigrean as well. You can hardly find someone who is originally from Addis Ababa as most workers in the industrial park are metes [migrants]. Stepping onto the …
Development and Social Inequality
Over the period from 2004 to 2018, Ethiopia was among the fastest growing nonoil-producing economies in Africa, and had one of the highest growth rates globally: nearly 10 percent per year.1 The Ethiopian government, led by the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) from 1991 to 2018, made ambitious plans for transforming the Ethiopian economy through the help of foreign direct investment (FDI), aiming at making Ethiopia a midd…
Return migration, masculinities and the fallacy of reintegration
The multifaceted notion of 'returning home,' and not least the dualities between expectation, anticipation and the realities facing migrants upon their return, is a key component in understanding East African migration dynamics and implications. This article constitutes an exploratory attempt to understand the nexus between return migration journeys, reintegration, psychosocial well-being, and masculinity for the hundreds of thousands of Ethiopia…
Metema became my Istanbul’ The Complex Transit Trajectories of Ethiopian Female Migrants
Discussions on transit migration have for long focused on presenting the experiences of migrants transiting through a given place at a specific time in a linear manner. Accordingly, most prior researches adopt a snapshot approach to examine the lived experience of transit migrants. This paper argues that such an approach fails to aptly capture the gist of the complex nature of transiting and the dynamics of change in the migration trajectories. I…
The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahido Church in the Context of State Reformation
There was a historical and political intimacy between the Ethiopian Tewahido Orthodox Church (EOTC) and the Ethiopian state until their relationship was profoundly modified after the 1974 Revolution and the secular rupture connected to that. This was followed by political reforms by successive governments, which have had a leveling effect on the religious field. The country's religious minorities—Muslims and Protestants—have been engaged in recog…
Too many winds to consider; which way and when to sail
Transit migration is a phenomenon on the rise partly due to the growth of international migration and more robust policies in destination countries making onward travel more difficult. The dominant discourse portrays transit migrants as agents stranded enroute-lacking agency to decide about their state of mobility/immobility. By going beyond such a normative victimization narrative of transit migrants, and by drawing on lived experiences of femal…
The contestation over the indigenous in Africa
Cosmopolitan Youth Religious Movements in Ethiopia
The trajectories of youth religiosity have not received much scholarly attention in anthropological studies of the Horn of Africa. The present article addresses this gap through an in-depth ethnographic study of contemporary developments around the Ethiopian Orthodox Tawahədo Church (EOTC). It also aims to advance the anthropological understanding of the agency of religious youth by going beyond the rupture thesis, which emphasizes generational s…
Contested Religious Authority
The African experience in works dealing with Sufi women shows a concentration of classical and more recent works in the Maghreb and in West Africa. There is an observable gap in academic writings on the Horn of Africa where only scarce and fragmentary studies are available on women's involvement and leadership in Sufism. Works focusing on Somalia address such themes as women's oral literature, religious practices, and everyday religion. The chall…
