Economic and social survival strategies of migrants in Southern Africa: a case study of Ghanaian migrants in Johannesburg, South AfricaOkyere, Dorcas January 2018 (has links)
Magister Artium (Development Studies) - MA(DVS) / The international migrant stock has continued to grow at a fast pace increasing from 222 million
in 2010 to 244 million in 2015. Reasons for migration are diverse and include conflicts, poverty
and natural tragedies. South to South migration is the most prevalent on the African continent;
similarly, half of migrants from developing countries, the world over, are estimated to reside in
other developing countries. South Africa is amongst the continent’s most popular destinations for
Africa’s migrants. Among the international migrants of African descent who reside in South
Africa, are Ghanaians; a migrant population rarely considered by migration studies conducted in
the country. Ghanaians receive less than 5% of the permits granted by South Africa to migrants
every year. Among this lot of migrants, are undocumented Ghanaians who live in the country with
little or no social protection. They are exposed to various health and social conditions and resort
to survivalist strategies as a coping mechanism. However, very little is known about the specifics
of the aforementioned challenges and the strategies they use to cope with these, in South Africa,
for studies in this regard are largely non-existent. With the aim of filling this gap, this study
explores the economic and social survival strategies of Ghanaian migrants in Johannesburg, South
Africa. Using qualitative research methods, it draws data from 10 Key Informant Individual
Interviews and three Focus Group Discussions (FGD) and analyses the experiences of documented
and undocumented Ghanaian migrants in relation to access to livelihood, health, housing and their
use of social networks in South Africa. The findings of this research indicated that economic
reason is the main push factor for the migration of Ghanaians to South Africa. It is hoped that the
relevant authorities in Ghana and South Africa that are positioned to address the challenges faced
by migrants will find the results of this study useful in their efforts to mitigate the plight of
documented and undocumented Ghanaian migrants in the informal sector of South Africa.

Bosnien-Hercegovina - en studie om försoning mellan tre etniska grupperBurazerovic, Miran January 2007 (has links)
<p>The purpose of this study is to investigate if reconciliation between former war-enemies and ethnic groups (Muslims, Croats and Serbs) in Bosnia and Hercegovina is possible today. Reconciliation between these groups is necessary for the development of the state and sustainable peace. In order to fulfil the aim I have applied qualitative conversation interviews together with qualitative literature study.</p><p>In this research I have studied the three largest parties (SDA, HDZ and SDS) in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Conversation interviews were made with two representatives of each party. The reconciliation theory and the recommendations that the theory advocates were used in the study. The recommendations were also used to create interview questions that gave me relevant empirical data from the interviews. The interview data with the high representatives of these political parties led to a valid result.</p><p>The conclusions show that reconciliation between these three ethnic groups in Bosnia and Herzegovina is not possible today. Huge political, economical and social changes and improvements are necessary. All three classes, top-level, middle-range and grassroots, must get involved in the process if reconciliation is to be possible.</p><p>Keywords: Bosnia and Herzegovina, reconciliation, ethnic groups, political parties.</p>

Crossing boundaries : self identity and social expression in "emergent" American literatureSloboda, Nicholas Neil. January 1996 (has links)
Currently, in the fields of multi-ethnic literary and cultural studies in American, many critics and theoreticians concentrate on exposing forces of social and economic oppression against ethnic minorities and practices of cultural hegemony by the dominant culture. In the process, they often read characters in multi-ethnic American literatures as agents of resistance and counter-discourse. While it is valuable to recognize the subversive potential in these writings, it is equally important to expose their distinct, individual attributes. Accordingly, this dissertation explores the neglected double nature and "bi-cultural" presence of the subject in a branch of contemporary American literature that I designate as "emergent." Through its "re-accentuation" (Bakhtin) of sign systems, writers of emergent fiction strive not to simply reintonate already established cultural paradigms from either recent or ancient homelands but, instead, to engage an active and ongoing cultural exchange in the context of America as (new) homeland. Presenting the individual and social subject as hybrid, emergent writers examine its dynamic involvement in both private and public spheres. My close readings of this literature focus on the representation of self-other interrelationships. / I introduce and situate my analysis with a theoretical overview of the subject in cross-cultural or "liminal" zones (Bhabha). I also consider the significance of "dialogism" (Bakhtin) in the multi-ethnic, often female, subject's experience of "estrangement" (Felski). My choice of both established and lesser-known of new writers, born (or raised) in the United States but of diverse ethnic backgrounds, includes Cristina Garcia (Hispanic), Louise Erdrich (Native), Julia Shigekuni (Japanese), Sandra Cisneros (Chicana), Askold Melnyczuk (Ukrainian), Charlotte Sherman (African), and Amy Tan (Chinese). Situating the individual and social subject at various crossroads---both physical and psychological---emergent writers examine the changing nature of self identity and social expression. Through their "border pedagogy" (Giroux), they traverse axiologic discourses and socio-cultural boundaries and attend to ensuing dialectical tensions between inner and outer worlds, and among peoples, cultures, and social hierarchies.
