  • Circular Migration and multi locational livelihoods strategies in rural india
    2009
    Co-Authors: Priya Deshingkar, John W Farrington
    Abstract:

    Circular Migration, much of it seasonal, is an integral part of the livelihood strategies of millions of poor people living in agriculturally marginal areas. This book pulls together fresh field evidence which shows how Migration and commuting are sustaining and improving livelihoods in rural India today, a reality that is mostly bypassed by official statistics.

  • Circular Migration in madhya pradesh changing patterns and social protection needs
    The European Journal of Development Research, 2008
    Co-Authors: Priya Deshingkar, Pramod Kumar Sharma, Sushil Kumar, Shaheen Akter, John Farrington
    Abstract:

    Resurveys in six villages in Madhya Pradesh show that contrary to mainstream perceptions, seasonal/Circular Migration has become more accumulative for the poor over the last five years as new opportunities in urban areas have reduced the uncertainty of finding work, wages have increased and the dependence on contractors has declined. Furthermore, Migration is attracting more women and upper castes as traditional restrictions related to manual work break down. Migration has brought greater returns to those with skills or strong social networks. Others, relying on contractors or facing discrimination, have not benefited as much. Nevertheless, Migration is viewed by the poor as a strategy for improving household well-being. Migration has reduced borrowing for consumption, improved debt repayment capacity and given migrants greater confidence and bargaining power. The paper concludes that policy should shift towards migrant support away from Migration prevention. NGO initiatives that offer lessons for migrant support are reviewed.

  • Circular Migration and sexual networking in rural KwaZulu/Natal: implications for the spread of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases*
    Health transition review, 1997
    Co-Authors: Mark N Lurie, Abigail Harrison, David Wilkinson, Salim S. Abdool Karim
    Abstract:

    Patterns of Migration do not simply arise out of chance. In South Africa, for example, Migration patterns are a result of decades of legislation aimed at restricting the movements of the majority of the population and providing a steady flow of cheap black labour to the gold mines and other industries. In the new democratic South Africa, restrictive laws have been lifted, but Circular Migration remains a way of life for several million black South Africans. This paper examines the social and epidemiological implications of widespread Circular Migration from the perspective of a rural South African Health District. In particular, we report our findings on the patterns and prevalence of Migration into and out of the Hlabisa Health District in rural KwaZulu/Natal, and the patterns of sexual networking of migrants and their rural partners. We conclude by examining the implications of these patterns of Migration and sexual networking for the spread of HIV and other STDs.

  • Circular Migration and the spaces of cultural assertion
    Annals of The Association of American Geographers, 2003
    Co-Authors: Vinay K Gidwani, K Sivaramakrishnan
    Abstract:

    Abstract Harnessing primary and secondary evidence from India, our essay conceptualizes the cultural dynamics of Migration. In so doing, it demonstrates the incompleteness of standard marginalist and Marxist accounts of labor circulation. As a corrective, we examine the linkages between culture, politics, space, and labor mobility and offer a way to think about them by building on poststructural critiques of development and postcolonial theories of migrant subjectivity. The proverbial compression of space-time not only has made extralocal work more viable for members of proletarianized groups but, more importantly, has allowed them to transfer their experiences of new ways of being into local contexts through acts of consumption and labor deployment that can become elements of a Gramscian counterhegemonic praxis. We argue that the possibility of this sort of “body politics” compels not merely a critique of the modernization paradigm that has organized classical Migration studies but, more profoundly, a re...

  • Circular Migration and rural cosmopolitanism in india
    Contributions to Indian Sociology, 2003
    Co-Authors: Vinay K Gidwani, K Sivaramakrishnan
    Abstract:

    In this article we present a provisional theory of rural cosmopolitanism as a counterpoint to conventional discussions of cosmopolitanism and demonstrate its significance for studying South Asian modernities. We explore our ideas through the figure of the Circular migrant: someone who transmits through movements in geographic space not just sensi bilities and ideas, but also the materials and techniques that enable the transformation of social space in multiple worlds. The regionalisation of labour markets in India, with a consequent rise in labour circulation, provides empirical justification to our foeus on Circular migrants. But neither Circular Migration nor rural cosmopolitanism is a new phenomenon. Instead, we suggest that by probing the largely invisible histories of move ment within South Asia, we may end up writing the rise of nationalisms, regional political movements, and modernities in that part of the world in very different ways. This is pre cisely why it is necessary to reject the figure of...
