In cities throughout Africa, local inhabitants live alongside large populations of "strangers." Bruce Whitehouse explores the condition of strangerhood for residents who have come from the West African Sahel to settle in Brazzaville, Congo. Whitehouse considers how these migrants live simultaneously inside and outside of Congolese society as merchants, as Muslims in a predominantly non-Muslim society, and as parents seeking to instill in their children the customs of their communities of origin. Migrants and Strangers in an African City challenges Pan-Africanist ideas of transnationalism and diaspora in today's globalized world.mehr

Kritik
"A worthy contribution to the growing fields of immigration studies, transnationalism, and globalization and a very readable analysis of the dynamics of contemporary life in an African city." Phyllis M. Martin, Indiana University "Strong ethnographic evidence and case studies bolster the author's presentation, which is solidly grounded historically and anthropologically in current and earlier literature. An excellent example of multisited research projects in an age of globalization. ... Highly recommended." Choice, October 2012 "Migrants and Strangers in an African City"On the whole, Migrants and Strangers in an African City is a significant contribution, useful across various disciplines, from anthropology and history to political science and sociology. Furthermore, students of migration studies, transnationalism, identity, as well as market-dominant minorities will find great merit in this work."--African and Asian Studiesmehr
