Unauthorized Identity Craft
Crafting identity is integral to the struggle of aspiring migrants to access the territory, labor market, and citizenship of desired destinations. Such practices are at times classified as “fraud.” Migration scholars should approach this state-centered category with caution. Such framing naturalizes the state's monopolistic claim to the truth of individual identities. It obscures the complex moral terrain migrants navigate. We propose “unauthoriz…

Becoming White
In this autobiographical essay, I explore two parallel processes that are somehow interconnected: the first is the shift in my own understanding of race throughout my life, from my formative years in Greece until my recent years in the Netherlands, where I began an academic career as an anthropologist. The second is my own racialization as ‘white’ since I moved to the Netherlands and became an academic. After I outline what were the relevant cate…
Family matters
Guided by social justice and sexual health concerns, scholars of same-sex sexualities in Africa have mainly examined related conflicts and inequities, generating an unbalanced emphasis on homophobia. Following Stella Nyanzi's plea for a broader exploration of queer sexuality in Africa, we move beyond the strictly sexual sphere to study the kinship arrangements of same-sex couples in Kenya. These couples rely on the different possibilities afforde…

Love, money and papers in the affective circuits of cross-border marriages
In the name of women’s protection, Dutch immigration authorities police cross-border marriages differentiating between acceptable and non-acceptable forms of marriage (e.g. ‘forced’, ‘sham’, ‘arranged’). The categorisation of marriages between ‘sham’ and ‘genuine’ derives from the assumption that interest and love are and should be unconnected. Nevertheless, love and interest are closely entwined and their consideration as separate is not only mi…
Contesting categories
Marriages that involve the migration of at least one of the spouses challenge two intersecting facets of the politics of belonging: the making of the 'good and legitimate citizens' and the 'acceptable family'. In Europe, cross-border marriages have been the target of increasing state controls, an issue of public concern and the object of scholarly research. The study of cross-border marriages and the ways these marriages are framed is inevitably …
Migration, mobility and the dynamics of kinship
Although kinship has long since been established as a topic in migration research, migration scholars often lacked an analytical concept of kinship and relied on their own ethnocentric understandings and legal definitions. Reconciling insights from the anthropology of kinship and migration studies, we outline how a new theorization of kinship could be suitable and helpful for the study of migration and mobility. First, we need a conceptualization…
Hospitality and Immigration in a Greek Urban Neighborhood
This article uses the concept of hospitality to examine the relations between native-born Greeks and recently arrived immigrants in a Greek urban neighborhood. Beyond romanticized notions of hospitality as a moral obligation or national virtue, this article considers hospitality as a power relation and a control mechanism of social behavior and cultural production. Although relations between hosts and guests are interpersonal, their (perceived) s…
Migration, Class and Symbolic Status
The arguments developed in this chapter are supported with ethnographic material on Nigerian Diaspora that the author collected in his fieldwork in Thessaloniki, Greece and Amsterdam. By examining the case of the Nigerian Diaspora, the chapter analyses the importance of class and money for those who want to migrate today. This is a result of the restrictive migration policies that have increased the cost of both regular and irregular migration. C…
