Beyond the binary debates in migration: Experiences of Fulani nomads, sedentary Fulani, and autochthone farmers in Agogo, Ghana
The contestations over land and pasture redefine broad complex boundaries between three groups: autochthone farmers of Agogo, Fulani sedentary herders, and Fulani nomads. The broad boundaries have emerged into sub-categories between the sedentary Fulani and Fulani nomads who belong to the same ethnic group of Fulbe in West Africa. With growing population pressures and shrinking resources, the competition for land and livelihoods has fuelled tensi…
We are mine workers”: Feminists’ political economy in artisanal and small scale gold mining in the Talensi District, Ghana
Transnational political practices and integration of second generation migrants
Since the last few decades, migration scholars have acknowledged that immigrants and their forebears maintain different forms of ties with their home countries while incorporating into their host countries. The study contributes to the literature by investigating the interplay between transnational political practices and political integration of second generation Ghanaians in Amsterdam. Data for this research are drawn from semi-structured inter…
Negotiating Gendered Leadership Positions within African Initiated Christian Churches in Amsterdam
Our research contributes to the discussion of feminist theorists on how the dominance of women in religious communities is not reflected in leadership positions of women. With the case of African Initiated Christian Churches (AICCs) in Amsterdam, this study investigates the intersection of gender, citizenship, and religion. The concept of religious citizenship provides the analytical tool to examine women-men relationships within immigrant religi…
Evidence of Spiritual Capital in the Schooling of Second-Generation Ghanaians in Amsterdam
This study investigates how spiritual capital accrued from religiosity influences the educational mobility of second-generation migrants in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. We propose that inherently, religiosity possesses resources that have consequences for the socio-economic and cultural life of the adherents. The study adopts ethnographic research methods including in-depth interviews, participant observation and informal interviews in the religio…

The literature on migration intentions of university students and their decisions to travel abroad as student migrants is limited. This article outlines how the thought of student migration is created and nurtured. It investigates how facilitators and/or constraints influence the decision to migrate as students. Using a multi-sited approach, fieldwork in Ghana focused on prospective student migrants, while fieldwork in the Netherlands provided a …

Second, in which ways do the engagement of Fulani herders a…
Political Vigilante Groups in Ghana: Violence or Democracy
Literature on political vigilante groups has centred on the violence and conflict that emanate from their activities. This article approaches political vigilante groups as political actors who engage in political mobilisation and participation and therewith also contribute to nation state building. It explores how such groups participate in Ghana's democratic governance and asks whether violence is an inevitable characteristic. The article builds…
Religious citizenship and gendered sanctions in the lived experience of second generation Ghanaians
This study seeks to understand how some African Initiated Christian churches in Amsterdam sanction discrimination against women in the exercise of the right to religious citizenship. This research also investigates how through the exercise of agency some female second generation Ghanaians contest, reinterpret or conform to gendered sanctions in the religious field. Data were drawn mainly from in-depth interviews, participant observation and infor…

L’engagement politique de la diaspora ghanéenne aux Pays-Bas: Les sections extérieures des partis politiques
Les auteurs analysent la genèse des sections extérieures des partis politiques ghanéens aux Pays-Bas, et la façon dont leurs membres mènent une vie politique transnationale entre pays d’accueil et pays d’origine. L’étude confirme que l’engagement politique transnational n’entre pas en concurrence, mais complète plutôt l’intégration politique dans le pays d’accueil. En dépit de la participation politique active des immigrés ghanéens à Amsterdam, l…
