Economies of Care
Crises and displacement have shaped practices and relations of care among Zimbabwean migrants and their families upon their return from South African urban areas.
Through ethnographic research primarily in Bulawayo, Economies of Care addresses the intersection of kinship, state functions and migration in sustaining livelihoods amidst Zimbabwe's economic and political instability.
It offers an in-depth analysis of how bureaucratic and intimate care structures intertwine, making it an essential resource for scholars of migration, anthropology and African studies.
