Muwalladeen and the Struggle for Equality and Justice In and Outside Yemen
This article sheds light on marginalization and activism of the muwalladeen —Yemenis of mixed racial descent, whose parents or grandparents lived abroad, in particular in Africa and Asia. Building on the insights from critical citizenship studies, we explore how intersecting factors (such as race, gender, or legal status) shape experiences of belonging and strategies of resistance. We draw on interviews and conversations with muwalladeen activist…
Thinking through payment in fieldwork
Ethnographic research has long illuminated diverse economic relations. Yet ethnographers have said little about an economic relation that they themselves often rely on: payment in fieldwork. Indeed, the particularities of monetary exchange between ethnographers and their interlocutors often remain hidden—or taboo. This is so even though thinking through reciprocity is increasingly important in discussions of anthropological research ethics and th…
Resisting Marginalization in Times of Crisis
This special issue calls on scholars to rethink Yemen from its margins, considering marginality as politically and epistemically generative spaces. The five interdisciplinary contributions to the volume use an intersectional framework to shed light on the historical and contemporary experiences of marginalized communities in Yemen, and their resilience in the face of multifaceted crises. Taken together, they offer empirically rich and theoretical…
Mûwalladîn and Mûwalladât in the Yemeni Diaspora
In this paper we present and analyze stories of mûwalladîn (sg. m. mûwallad, sg.f. mûwallada, pl.m. mûwalladîn, pl.f. mûwalladât) who are currently living outside of Yemen. Mûwalladîn are people of mixed descent or people whose parents were born and brought up outside of Yemen, in particular in Africa or Asia. Mûwalladîn, in particular those of African descent, have always faced systematic discrimination and racialization. Since the start of the …

A Double-Edged Sword? The Role of Digital Technologies in Marriage and Divorce Among Syrian Refugees in Northern Jordan
This paper explores how young Syrian refugees in Jordan who have grown up using information and new communication technologies are using the internet as a private space where emotions and practices regarding intimate and marital life are expressed. We explore how new technologies and social media are influencing refugees’ perceptions and experiences of marriage and divorce during displacement. Based on in-depth interviews with rural Syrian women …
Baking injera in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Women play an important role in food value chain development, but their labor is often invisible in related policies. Female injera bakers in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, have suffered a similar fate: their labor has been neglected in policies on improving the teff value chain. Teff is a cereal grown in Ethiopia which is used to make the countries' biggest food staple: injera. In this article we describe and analyze the labor of female injera bakers in…
We Are All Suffering Equally”
This article focuses on the impact of the war on people of mixed Yemeni-African descent in Yemen. These so-called muwalladin have been the target of discriminatory practices for decades. Since the start of the civil war in Yemen, stigmatization and discrimination on the basis of one's family background has increased. Based on a qualitative study among muwalladin in Yemen we argue that discrimination on the basis of race and gender is highly preva…

In Search of a Better Job
Ces dix dernières années ont été marquées par un nombre croissant d’adolescentes migrant des zones rurales vers les centres urbains, en particulier vers Addis-Abeba. Si la migration des jeunes filles n’est pas un phénomène nouveau en Éthiopie – historiquement, elles quittaient déjà les lieux qui les avaient vues naître pour se faire engager comme domestiques ou comme travailleuses saisonnières dans l’agriculture –, le nombre d’adolescentes migran…
Early Marriage in Perspective
This article discusses rationales for development and humanitarian intervention through the lenses of poststructuralist policy analysis and a postcolonial politics of the womb. It aims to show a variety of perspectives on early marriage and the limitations of dominant policy responses. The article argues that humanitarian logics easily blend with developmentalist models, especially in conditions of protracted displacement. The response to the ris…

Agency in constrained circumstances
In the past decade an increasing number of adolescent girls in Ethiopia have moved from villages and rural towns to Addis Ababa to improve their own lives and those of their families. While girls’ migration is in a way a ‘normality’, with historically girls migrating for domestic work, the dominant discourse in Ethiopia describes the migration of girls mainly in terms of trafficking and exploitation, in particular when they are doing sex work. As…
From Yemen to Eritrea and Back
At the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century, a large number of Yemeni men migrated to the Horn of Africa, and in particular to Ethiopia and present-day Eritrea. After the downfall of the Yemeni Imamate in the 1960s, and in particular after Mengistu came to power in Ethiopia in the 1970s, many Yemenis returned to Yemen with their African wives and children of mixed descent. Although the social status of Yemenis …
Deported before experiencing the good sides of migration
In the period November 2013–April 2014 more than 160,000 Ethiopians were deported from Saudi Arabia after a seven months amnesty period for undocumented migrants came to an end. This large-scale regularization campaign of the Saudi government must be seen in light of the ‘Arab Spring’, when popular uprisings in the Middle East were threatening dictatorial regimes. The effect of the Arab Spring was felt globally; the uprisings impacted upon migran…

Ethiopian Women’s Migration to Yemen
Cet article traite de la migration passée et actuelle de femmes éthiopiennes au Yémen. Si le Yémen est surtout considéré comme un pays d’émigration, de nombreuses Éthiopiennes y ont émigré, depuis les années 1990, pour obtenir des emplois salariés en tant que travailleuses domestiques. D’autres, avant elles — dans les années 1960 et 1970 —, avaient fait le même chemin. Mais la plupart avaient émigré en suivant leur mari yéménite de retour dans so…

Genre et mobilités au Yémen et dans la Corne de l’Afrique
Les trois articles de ce dossier traitant des migrations entre le Yémen et la Corne de l’Afrique adoptent des perspectives novatrices sur la question, à partir de sujets jusque-là non abordés par les chercheurs, en dépit de l’ancienneté des mobilités entre ces deux espaces. Concernant le Yémen, peu d’attention a été accordée aux relations historiques avec l’Afrique, et en termes de migrations, ce sont surtout celles vers l’Asie, l’Europe et les E…
Ways to Come, Ways to Leave
Based on anthropological fieldwork in Yemen, this article examines the relationship between gender, mobility, and il/legality in the lives of Ethiopian domestic workers. Studies about migrant domestic workers in the Middle East often focus on abuse and exploitation, making a plea for the regulation of women's legal status. Yet legal migration does not automatically mean that women gain more rights and become more mobile; regulation may also entai…
Refugee, woman and domestic worker
This paper examines changing gender relations among Somali couples in Yemen. Since the outbreak of the civil war in Somalia in 1991 hundreds of thousands of Somali refugees have come to Yemen. Most of them intend to move on to other countries on the Arabian Peninsula, or to Europe and North America. The possibilities to leave Yemen are, however, limited. Somali women often work as domestics; yet Somali men have difficulties finding paid labour. A…
Family dynamics in transnational African migration to Europe
This introduction to the special issue on 'Family dynamics in transnational African migration to Europe' outlines a number of important themes in contemporary migration of sub-Saharan African migrants to Europe. This special issue focuses on gender and intergenerational ties and tensions within families. The authors argue that the study of family dynamics in contemporary migration from Africa to Europe needs to be put in a historical perspective,…

Employing Migrant Domestic Workers in Urban Yemen
This article argues that employing migrant domestic workers has become a new form of social distinction in urban Yemen. The rapid social, economic and political changes of the past forty years have altered Yemen's system of social stratification. Formerly, one's racial descent and economic background determined the work they performed. Manual and service professions had a very low status and were only performed by the lowest social status groups.…

Legal and Practical Aspects of Participation by Women in Arab Societies
Many Arab and Muslim countries have a long history of women’s activism.Depending on location and historical moment, women activists have drawninspiration from a wide array of sources, including both religious and seculardiscourses. In all cases, however, one main issue is how legal systemsand processes of legal reform on the one hand, and social relations andeveryday life on the other hand, relate to each other.At this conference, held in The Hag…
