Zhira, Maxwell2016-10-062016-10-0620162016http://hdl.handle.net/10625/55814Five million people left Zimbabwe over a period of ten years (2000-2010) with three million migrating to South Africa. This thesis documents positive changes in the lives of migrants and how they contributed to their new environment. An emphasis on the contradictions of adjustment extends past current arguments regarding migration and displacement in southern Africa. Existing literature shows economic and social marginalization of migrants, their grim living conditions, and in particular their exclusionary treatment by South Africans. This thesis moves beyond the literature to document key positive changes in the lives of migrants, beyond the hardships they encountered.Text1 digital file (300 p.)Application/pdfenMIGRATIONZIMBABWESOUTH AFRICASOUTH OF SAHARAMARGINALIZATIONGENDER ANALYSISWOMEN'S PARTICIPATIONECONOMIC CONDITIONSThesis
