Abstract

Es ist an der Zeit, Wanderungsbewegungen sowie raumüberspannende Netzwerkbeziehungen als Normalität der Lebenswirklichkeit in afrikanischen Gesellschaften anzuerkennen. Malte Steinbrink und Hannah Niedenführ plädieren für eine translokale Betrachtungsweise von sozialem Wandel und zeigen: Die Translokalität der Existenzsicherung prägt nicht nur das Leben einer halben Milliarde Menschen auf dem Kontinent - sie wirkt sich auch immer deutlicher auf die jeweiligen Gegebenheiten vor Ort aus. Mithilfe eines handlungszentrierten Konzepts analysieren sie die Einflüsse translokaler Livelihoods auf zahlreiche Aspekte des ökonomischen, ökologischen und sozialen Wandels in ländlichen Räumen. Die Studie leistet so einen wichtigen Beitrag nicht nur zur Forschung, sondern ebenso zur Politik und Praxis der Entwicklungszusammenarbeit.

Abstract

Refugees and displaced people rarely figure as historical actors, and almost never as historical narrators. We often assume a person residing in a refugee camp, lacking funding, training, social networks, and other material resources that enable the research and writing of academic history, cannot be a historian because a historian cannot be a person residing in a refugee camp. The Right to Research disrupts this tautology by featuring nine works by refugee and host-community researchers from across Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. Identifying the intrinsic challenges of making space for diverse voices within a research framework and infrastructure that is inherently unequal, this edited volume offers a critical reflection on what history means, who narrates it, and what happens when those long excluded from authorship bring their knowledge and perspectives to bear. Chapters address topics such as education in Kakuma Refugee Camp, the political power of hip-hop in Rwanda, women migrants to Yemen, and the development of photojournalism in Kurdistan. Exploring what it means to become a researcher, The Right to Research understands historical scholarship as an ongoing conversation - one in which we all have a right to participate.

Abstract

The intersection of food and immigration in North America, from the macroscale of national policy to the microscale of immigrants' lived, daily foodways. This volume considers the intersection of food and immigration at both the macroscale of national policy and the microscale of immigrant foodways--the intimate, daily performances of identity, culture, and community through food.
