Religious Sensibilities in Pursuit of Sexual Well-Being
Religious Sensibilities in Pursuit of Sexual Well-Being
The self-identifying Ghanaian-Dutch and Somali-Dutch communities residing in the Randstad area of the Netherlands are deeply impacted by religious beliefs and cultural factors in their approach towards sexual health practices, well-being and pleasure. This book shows how religious sensibilities shape the physical activities, beauty practices, and gendered roles that are adopted into the daily lives of these communities in pursuit of their sexual …
Renegotiating the Biopolitics of Physical Activities among Ethnic Minority Groups in the Netherlands
Research on physical activities among religious and minority ethnic groups in Europe often focuses on classical public health issues or how to ‘empower’, and ‘equip’ people to stay healthy as well as integrated. In producing healthy citizens, bodies have been disciplined and are attuned to dominant discourses regarding religion, race, minority ethnic groups, and their health practices. This paper aims to show how minority ethnic groups, through p…
A call to rethink African scholars beyond “local experts
Development discourses have been widely criticized for creating hierarchical dichotomies, such as “developed” (the global North) and “developing” (the global majority), with the former being the ideal standard to which the rest must catch up. The development paradigm has infiltrated academic spaces globally, including international research collaborations, creating various categories such as (non)scientific (local) expertise. We see such hierarch…

Objective We explore how information communication technologies (ICTs) enable doing kin work through communication and its impact on the well-being of Ghanaians at home and abroad. Background Using ICTs has become a significant and rapid way to keep in touch with family relations as they are "scattered" across different geographic spaces within a country and globally. In this digital age, families can choose from a wide range of options that allo…
Determinants and Variations of Covid-19 Vaccine Uptake and Responses Among Minority Ethnic Groups in Amsterdam, the Netherlands
The outbreak of the deadly novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has disrupted life worldwide in an unprecedented manner. Over the period, scientific breakthroughs have resulted in the rollout of many vaccination programmes to protect against the disease, reduce the fear and ease public health restrictions for lives to return to some normalcy. The aim of this study was to identify the factors responsible for COVID-19 vaccine acceptance or vaccine …
Labour of love
This paper examines the productive role of secrecy in the nexus of transnational mobility, kinship, and intimate relations among Ghanaian-Dutch and Somali-Dutch in the Netherlands. Whereas secrecy is typically understood as one person concealing knowledge from another, implying the latter's passivity, we argue that secrecy depends on mutually constitutive interactions. Secrecy is explored as the result of an interaction between those who obscure …
