Rose Jaji is senior lecturer in the Department of Sociology at the University of Zimbabwe.

In her recent book “Deviant Destinations: Zimbabwe and North to South Migration,” Rose Jaji, senior lecturer in Sociology at Harare University, pays attention to an unusual type of migration journey. . . Rose Jaji`s book gives an entirely new reading of Zimbabwe, showing how studying migration from the Global North to the Global South can give new insights into the common elements of migration motivations, the place of migrants in a host society and the pitfalls of a containerized understanding of the nation-state. . . . Jaji`s deconstruction of motivations, consequences and territorialisation of common migration containers is vital reading for anyone seeking nuanced debates that go beyond the norm.
