Anchors, archipelagos, and ports of departure: How resettlement shapes im/mobilities in Nyarugusu refugee camp, Tanzania
Traditional, complementary, and alternative medicine and the provision of health care to internally displaced persons in South Kivu, Democratic Republic of the Congo
Introduction Traditional, complementary and alternative medicine (TCAM) providers are central for many when seeking healthcare. Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) are no exception. This paper seeks to better understand the use of TCAM by IDPs and its connection with the local integration of IDPs into the social fabric of the communities where they have taken refuge. We compare IDPs and non-IDPs access to TCAM providers and their level of confide…
Perceptions of health: (Dis)integration and (mis)integration of refugees in Nairobi, Kenya
This article utilizes 40 in-depth interviews of healthcare workers (HCWs) including Kenyan nurses, medical doctors, psychologists, pharmacists, refugee NGO officers, and others based in Nairobi who come in professional contact with Congolese and Somali refugees on a regular basis. They were asked to describe barriers to healthcare, care seeking behaviors, and pathways to care that refugees experience. These responses are juxtaposed with 60 life-h…
Rethinking (local) integration: Domains of integration and their durability in Kismayo and Garowe, Somalia
Amidst the ever-expanding debates in various academic and policy fields around migrant and refugee integration and local integration, we bring these two concepts in conversation with one another. Until very recently, theories of integration have had a state-centric focus in the Global North. This article expands and complicates this literature to focus on displaced Somalis within Somalia and its borderlands living in the cities of Kismayo and Gar…
(De)coloniality of "Tethered Mobilities" in Freetown, Sierra Leone and Nyarugusu Refugee Camp, Tanzania
Drawing from historical case studies from Sierra Leone and Tanzania, this article fundamentally asks, what constitutes decoloniality? Before answering, we analyze the enduring coloniality of national borders, internal boundaries and identities, and manipulation and coercive imposition of (im)mobility. These colonial logics create "tethered mobilities" moving internal and external migrants in and out of approved spaces to facilitate extraction and…
“When a bad thing happens…you are better only when you are home: ” Alienation and mental health challenges experienced by Congolese and Somali migrants in Johannesburg, South Africa
This article explores the link between migration and alienation and its impact on the mental health and wellbeing of Congolese and Somali asylum seekers and refugees—two of the largest populations of displaced migrants in South Africa. Drawing on ethnographic research in Johannesburg, we highlight the various ways alienation is both imposed upon and experienced by migrants and argue that systemic dis integration, or acts of alienation, can be see…
Pathways to care: IDPs seeking health support and justice for sexual and gender-based violence through social connections in Garowe and Kismayo, Somalia and South Kivu, DRC
A growing literature documents the significant barriers to accessing care that Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) face. This study focuses on gender-based violence (SGBV), an issue often exacerbated in times of forced displacement, and adds to extant debates by considering the wide range of social connections (pathways and actors) involved in providing care beyond the formal biomedical (and justice) system. This research asks, who do IDPs turn t…
Deconstructing the Migrant/Refugee/Host Ternary in Kigoma, Tanzania: Toward a Borderland Politics of Solidarity and Reparation
This article deconstructs the migrant/refugee/host ternary at the Tanzania-Burundi borderlands of Kigoma region. I complicate migrant/refugee binary by presenting different trajectories and outcomes of Burundians participating in agricultural systems surrounding refugee camps. This history of migration and displacement is not new, however, but has been impelled since the rise of European colonization. Though never refugees, Tanzanian ‘hosts’ shar…
On Broker Exploitation and Violence: From Madalali to Cartel Bosses in the Food Aid Resale Economy of Tanzanian Refugee Camps
It is a poorly kept humanitarian secret that wherever food aid is given, it is also sold, as recipients seek to vary their diets to include culturally desired food, start businesses, or deal with economic shocks. This holds true in Nyarugusu refugee camp in Tanzania, the site of this research. While this article addresses the supply side of the World Food Programme resale system, its main focus is the demand side, providing one of the first in-de…
Class in camps or the camped class? The making and reshaping of socio-economic inequalities in the refugee camps of north-western Tanzania
Can class help understand refugee camp dynamics? We mobilise the concepts of exploitation, life chances, and cultural and social capital to analyse socio-economic stratification and inequality in Nyarugusu refugee camp in Tanzania. The research draws from a longitudinal survey with Congolese and Burundian refugee households and over 200 qualitative interviews carried out in 2017-2020. We show that camp residents, especially repeat Burundian refug…
