Toward An Agenda For Placing Migrant Hometown Associations (Htas) In Migration Policy-Making Discourse In Ghana, Thomas Antwi Bosiakoh
Toward An Agenda For Placing Migrant Hometown Associations (Htas) In Migration Policy-Making Discourse In Ghana, Thomas Antwi Bosiakoh
Dr Thomas ANTWI BOSIAKOH
Migrant hometown associations (HTAs) are arguably the most recognizable migrant institutions in migration destination countries. As institutions for the welfare of migrants and for the development of migrant home and destination countries, migrant HTAs have engaged the attention of migration scholars for a number of reasons. Their activities straddle across different spheres of endeavours, including adjustment and integration, development, promotion of peaceful co-existence, socio-cultural empowerment, and resolution of conflicts, among others. These activities of migrant HTAs are important in achieving co-development and therefore require policy focus. While it is important to commend Ghana for initiating a process for migration policy …

'In Unity Lies Our Strength': Exploring The Benefits And Entitlements In Nigerian Migrant Associations In Accra, Ghana, Thomas Antwi Bosiakoh
Dr Thomas ANTWI BOSIAKOH
This paper explores the benefits and entitlements due to members of three Nigerian migrant associations in Accra, Ghana. In doing this, the paper first attempts (re)tracing Nigerian presence in Ghana, and then discusses recent developments in Nigerian migration to Ghana. In the discussion on Nigerian migrant associations in Accra, Ghana, two specific issues are highlighted, namely, the profiles/activities of the associations and the benefits and entitlements due to association members and leaders. The discussions on the benefits and entitlements are grounded within the social capital framework. A number of conclusions have been reached based on the evidence of the empirical …

New Orleans Unveiled: Fanon And A Reconceptualization Of The Performative, Lynnell Thomas
Lynnell Thomas
This article examines Frantz Fanon's "Algeria Unveiled" as a reconceptualization of J. L. Austin's theory of the performative. Austin, whose examples of the performative all assume an equal, if not harmonious, relationship, overlooks instances of incompatibility and inequality. Fanon's post-colonial framework, in contrast, illustrates the markedly different types of intentions, uptake, and conventions which inform the speech act in cases of extreme inequality. In these cases, the powerless and seemingly voiceless use tacitly agreed upon conventions inappropriately to attain what they would not be able to have otherwise. Fanon's notion of the performative is used to explore the performative resistance …

Dark Tourism And Significant Other Death: Towards A Model Of Mortality Mediation, Philip Stone Dr
Dark Tourism And Significant Other Death: Towards A Model Of Mortality Mediation, Philip Stone Dr
Dr Philip Stone
Dark tourism and the commodification of death has become a pervasive feature within the contemporary visitor economy. Drawing upon the thanatological condition of society and a structural analysis of modern-day mortality, this paper establishes theoretical foundations for exploring dark tourism experiences. The study argues that in Western secular society where ordinary death is sequestered behind medical and professional façades, yet extraordinary death is recreated for popular consumption, dark tourism mediates a potential social filter between life and death. Ultimately, the research suggests that dark tourism is a modern mediating institution, which not only provides a physical place to link the …
