Rose Jaji is senior lecturer in the Department of Sociology at the University of Zimbabwe.

Summary

Through interviews with migrants to Zimbabwe, Rose Jaji problematizes classificatory binaries and regionalization of terminologies in the migration lexicon. She argues that while North-South and South-North migrants’ experiences differ, motivations for migration transcend classificatory boundaries and the North-South divide.
