Diaspora of Islamic Cultures: Continuity and Change (Research Report)

This paper, drawing upon an ongoing research project funded by Canada's Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) and the Ford Foundation, introduces the main ideas and themes that inform the study of changing gender and family relations among four displaced communities of Islamic cultures (Iranian, Afghan, Palestinian, and Pakistani). For members of each group, three sets of "circumstances" are analyzed -- an individual's experience in the home and host country, together with an examination of socio-economic conditions and policies in the host.

Transnational political and legal dimensions of emergent Eritrean human rights movements

Since 2001, Eritrea has been experiencing what may best be described as a crisis of human rights. Following the destructive border war with Ethiopia (1998-2000), the country began a rapid descent into political turmoil, economic decline, and social repression. This paper is an exploratory analysis of emergent rights-based initiatives among Eritrean refugees and exiles in the United States, Germany, and South Africa.
