Challenging Global Geographies of Power: Sending Children back to Nigeria from the United Kingdom for Education
West Africans have a long history of investing in their children's education by sending them to Britain. Yet, some young British-Nigerians are being sent to Nigeria for secondary education, going against a long historical grain. The movement of children from London to Nigeria is about the making of good subjects who possess particular cultural dispositions and behave in such a manner as to ensure educational success and the reproduction of middle…
In, Of, and Beyond Diaspora? Mapping, Migration, and the Production of Space among Nigerian Pentecostals
We explore the production of space and place among Nigerian Pentecostal members of the Redeemed Christian Church of God by looking at tensions and overlaps between diasporic and Pentecostal identities as verbally expressed or mapped by believers based in London, England. In doing so, we examine the utility but also the ambiguities involved in analyzing such Christians through theoretical frames suggested by scholars of diaspora. Spatial tropes of…
Redeeming the city: Creating and traversing 'London-Lagos
The authors focus on strategies and aesthetics of urban expansion in Lagos and London by members of the Redeemed Christian Church of God.

Analysis of these stances is complemented by the exploration of believers' actions within a material but also metaphorical arena that we term “London-Lagos.” Such themes are developed specifically through a focus on believers' relations with Nigerian and B…
