This book investigates the diverse and dynamic forms of migration within Africa. Centring themes of agency, resource flows, and transnational networks, the book examines the enduring appeal of the Global South as a place of origin, transit, and destination.Popular media, government pronouncements, and much of the global research discourse continue to be oriented towards migration from the Global South to the Global North, despite the fact that the vast majority of migration is South-South. This book moves beyond these mischaracterisations and instead distinctly focuses on the agency of African migrants and the creative strategies they employ while planning their routes within and across the African continent. Case studies explore the flow of resources such as people, money, skills, and knowledge throughout the continent, while also casting a light on the lived experiences of migrants as they negotiate their sometimes precarious and vulnerable positions. Underpinned by intensive empirical studies, this book challenges prevailing narratives and provides a new way of thinking about South-South Migration.Composed by a majority of scholars from the Global South, the book will be crucial reading for researchers, students, and policy makers with a focus on South-South Migration, Migration and Inequalities, Migration and Development, and Refugee and Humanitarian Studies.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available by KU 2024 under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

This book examines the complex subject of violence against women (VAW), moving beyond ways of thinking that privilege Western positions and subordinate local perspectives. Chapters analyse the profound clashes between different perspectives on VAW, demonstrating how actors engage with such norms in diverse places from Ethiopian villages, to government offices in Addis Ababa, to meeting rooms in the UN headquarters in New York.Norms and Violence Against Women in Ethiopia proposes a novel theoretical framework that sees norms and normative engagement through interconnected situations rather than hierarchical chains. This decolonizing approach recognizes the equal legitimacy of different normative realities without privileging Western perspectives – questioning any notion of the global as universal and the local as periphery. The result is a nuanced understanding of norm interaction and contestation that better explains both resistance to and potential for social change. Chapters cover key issues including intimate partner violence, marital rape, and child marriage, as well as the impacts of positive masculinity on gender violence.This timely book is an essential resource for scholars and students of sociology, international relations, global governance, and postcolonial studies. Providing insights on resistance to the implementation of social norms, the book is also beneficial to practitioners of international development and political sociology.
