“…Colonialism set in motion new types of urbanization and labour migration across the continent as natural resources were extracted for exportation. Postcolonial Africa, particularly since the 1980s, has seen increasing practices of economic migration out of the continent, particularly towards the global North, although the majority of African migration remains intra-continental (Flahaux and De Haas 2016; Whitehouse 2012; Kane and Leedy 2013; Declich and Rodet 2018).…”

This article examines how African transnational relationships in the twenty-first century differ from their manifestation in previous periods of mobility and long-distance intimacy. I argue that the possibilities for and expectations of immediate communication and co-presence facilitated by the current technological landscape distinguish this era from earlier ones and fundamentally alter the ways in which African migrants connect to those at home. Although time–space compression allows for the potential of new practices of virtual intimacy, it also creates an imperative of availability for migrants that is reinforced not only on micro- and meso-levels by families and communities but also on macro-levels by neoliberal state policies that target migrants as agents of development and providers of social services.

La narrazione e la condivisione del passato rappresentano uno spazio in cui le relazioni sociali ed i repertori culturali vengono riprodotti. I gruppi somali distribuiti tra il Corno d’Africa e le molteplici diaspore hanno sviluppato diverse tipologie di laboratori sociali attraverso cui vengono elaborate e prodotte le memorie sul passato di individui e collettività. Due casi studio, approfonditi grazie a ricerche storico-etnografiche nei territori somali e in Italia, mostrano la dinamica storica di alcuni di questi laboratori che processano esperienze di subordinazione, emancipazione e marginalità. L’analisi comparativa dei due esempi ricostruisce gli elementi delle traiettorie che spingono alcune memorie ai margini ed a disconnettersi dai processi storici in atto, dal repertorio sociale e culturale dell’appartenenza somala. Si tratta delle memorie orali custodite da alcuni membri di un gruppo di status minoritario e marginalizzato nell’attuale Somaliland, e delle esperienze di viaggio dei giovani migranti giunti in Italia dal secondo decennio di questo secolo.
