Narrating migration, narrating futures (eBook, PDF)

Social narratives on global power dynamics in Cameroon and the Cameroonian diaspora

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The book revolves around narrative as an intriguing, as well as intricate object of analysis and demonstrates how theoretically sound and empirically founded narrative research can look like. Migration is imbued, motivated, and shaped by imagination. Based on the everyday language around migration in Cameroon, the author is exploring social narratives about migration and their relationship with the global. Migration storytelling is a cultural force which speaks about people and their lives to the fullest: What they aspire to, the risks they take, and the stories they tell about all of it.
