| Summary: | Philosophiae Doctor - PhD === This dissertation is an exploration of everyday social interactions among and between
migrants from the Great Lakes Region and South Africans, who live together as neighbours
in a post-apartheid South African community. It focuses on the ways through which migrants
who are diverse among themselves forge social relations with one another and with the South
Africans in an urban township of lower middle class setting. It is an ethnography that
interrogates the understandings of belonging and difference in concrete arenas of interaction
in these two groups, and how they both mediate their diversity encounters in everyday life. |
