The tightrope of transit and containment: A comparative scoping review of international migration to Chiapas and the Canary Islands (1991-2021)
This comparative scoping review presents two cases widely considered as spaces of transit: the state of Chiapas, Mexico, and the Canary Islands archipelago, Spain. Following sampling and screening, 92 records from academic literature were included in this review. We found that this body of mostly descriptive research has largely focused on changes in migration policy, migrant routes, and border enforcement. In this, we have found a striking compa…
Imagining an agrarian future in rural Rwanda: Evidence from Congolese refugees at Mahama camp
Anti-sedentarism and the anthropology of forced migration
Anthropologists of forced migration have advanced unique perspectives exploring identity and community as they relate to space. With its critique of naturalized conceptions of rootedness, boundedness, and territorialization, anti-sedentarism stands as an important conceptual development emanating from this work. And while expressions such as 'sedentary bias' and 'sedentarist thinking' are found throughout this body of literature, anti-sedentarism…
Lost at sea, saved by Allah: Religious coping on a migrant journey from Cape Verde to Brazil
African migrants are taking longer and riskier journeys in the search of new destinations and improved opportunities. Elevated risks lead to feelings of stress, anxiety, and trauma, which makes the question of how migrants cope during such journeys an increasingly important area of research. Current research on migrant religious coping has focused on its use prior to departure and post-arrival. Few studies, however, have considered the role of re…
Commitments to forced migrants in African peace agreements, 1990–2018
This article presents data on peace agreement commitments towards forced migrants on the African continent (excluding MENA) from 1990 to 2018, resulting from the analysis of 177 peace agreements responding to the search queries ‘Africa (excl. MENA)’ and ‘refugees and displaced persons’ on the Peace Agreement Database (PA-X). This article presents preliminary results from four thematic categories: (1) return, reconstruction, rehabilitation, reinte…
From Exile to Homeland Return: Ethnographic Mapping to Inform Peacebuilding from Afar
When violent conflict flares up, forced migration often follows. Ethnographic data shows that forced migrants remain attached to their places of origin and often express a desire to return once conflict has abated, be it after weeks, months, or years. Conversely, peacebuilders in the homeland have not effectively integrated displaced persons within their strategic programming. This is cause for concern considering the literature connecting the co…
The Regional Response to the Venezuelan Exodus
[T]he Venezuelan displacement crisis is a crucial test of the liberal immigration policies that have been adopted across Latin America
Four voices of refugee solidarity along the Balkan Route: An exploratory pilot study on motivations for mobilisation
Scathing critiques of the European response to what has been widely called a ‘refugee crisis’ are not in short supply. However, as many activist mobilisations and solidarities emerged along the Balkan Route, this is only one facet of the European response to forced migration. Having interviewed four migration activists from four countries along this route – Greece, Macedonia, Serbia and Hungary – this exploratory pilot study sought to investigate…
