Informal Livelihoods and Governance in South Africa
Negotiated Precarity in the Global South

Using a case study of cross-border migrant domestic workers in South Africa, I discuss current debates on framing and understanding precarity, especially in the global south, and test its use as a conceptual framework to understand the everyday lived experiences and strategies of a group that face multiple …

Repoliticizing international migration narratives? Critical reflections on the Civil Society Days of the Global Forum on Migration and Development
This paper draws on Pécoud’s international migration narratives (IMN) as an analytical framework to examine the Global Forum on Migration and Development’s Civil Society Days (GFMD-CSD). We analyse the narratives both produced and challenged at the GFMD-CSD, suggesting that while the GFMD-CSD poses a gentle challenge to existing IMN, it falls short of meaningfully (re)politicizing predominant migration paradigms. This is partly due to how the for…

Circumcising Circumcision
Female circumcision among Somalis is a deeply personal and subjective practice, framed within traditional norms and cultural practices, but negotiated within contemporary realities to produce a set of processes and practices that are nuanced, differentiated, and undergoing change. Based on ethnographic research among Somali women in Johannesburg and Nairobi, we argue that the context of forced migration provides women with opportunities to renego…

Based on interviews with Somali leaders in Johannesburg, participant observation, a desktop study and secondary analysis of migration surveys, this paper is part of a doctoral thesis on livelihoods and empowerment amongst these migrants. It e…
