Summary: Zimbabwe’s crisis since 2000 has produced a dramatic global scattering of people. This seminar investigates this enforced dispersal, and the processes shaping the emergence of a new "diaspora" of Zimbabweans abroad, focusing on the most important concentrations in South Africa and in Britain. It will highlights the ways in which new movements are connected to older flows, and how displacements across physical borders are intimately linked to the reworking of conceptual borders in both sending and receiving states.

Sandwiches will be provided
