“…As businesses closed in Mutare some residents on the brink of poverty with little hope of food provision for their families illegally migrated to Mozambique to buy second hand clothes and to smuggle illegal beer for sale in an attempt to survive. Keevy, Green and Manik, (2014) and Manik (2005) in their study of return migrants observed several factors that can force migrants to return home including feelings of isolation from their loved ones as was in this case but with a new caveat, namely that of a spreading pandemic threatening the lives and livelihoods of people. Covid-19 led to the closure of sporting business and agricultural markets.…”

Alternation research groups have made decisive and far-sighted knowledge production contributions in the interdisciplinary Arts and Humanities arena for more than twenty-five years. From 2020, it adds the Alternation African Scholarship Book Series (AASBS) to its research outputs system. Via its incisive thematically-focused inter-, multi-, and transdisciplinary, as well as digitally-informed, research approaches, the AASBS not only advances the frontiers of knowledge in Africa's institutions of Higher Learning in designated focus areas, but also critically generates scholarship of, by and with the people(s) of our continent. Historically the research draws on the rich traditions of interactive African intellectualisations, from its earliest civilisations, through struggles for liberation and freedom, to independence and growth. It opens up future epistemic opportunities through intellectual initiative and resourcefulness, while critically contributing to the international advancement of knowledge on all relevant levels. Contributing to research-led constructive, transformative and substantial discourse development in our programmes and disciplines, it also aims at impacting the wellbeing of our people foundationally and all-inclusively in the present. All forms of scientific and social challenge which Africa's societies and communities face, need to be problematised and researched in the Arts and Humanities, in the interest of cooperative and conscientious responsible knowledge generation and foundational conceptual and methodological research impacts. We serve the hopes and aspirations of the people of Africa. AASBS is committed to the highest levels of inclusive, factually correct and critical, sociallyresponsive and socially-accountable evidence-based research analyses and outputs. Each chapter is reviewed by at least two independent peer reviewers. Through its editing and peerreview system, each volume also builds research leadership, research expertise, and interactive research acumen, capacity and capabilities.

“…A calculation using the PTUZ estimate (Sisulu, Moyo and Tshuma, 2007) would then reveal that there could possibly be more than 50 000 Zimbabwean teachers in SA in 2014. But statistical estimates differ and the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA, 2008, in Manik, 2009a previously reported that there were 10 000 qualified Zimbabwean teachers in SA, a far smaller number than the PTUZ estimate, but possibly counting for the largest cohort of foreign teachers. Initially, there didn't seem to be any SA government interest in gathering data on migrant teachers prior to 2011, but this appears to be a common international finding of governments in destination countries (Miller, 2007;Spreen and Edwards, 2011).…”

“…The author adopted mixed-methods approach and has employed field surveys, participant observations, focus group discussions and key informant interviews as a means for data collection in the study area. Jankowicz (1991), Waghid 2000, and Jayarathe and Stewart (1995) quoted in Manik (2005), viewed that the quantitative and qualitative research approaches should be seen as complementary to each other in the broader social discourse of research are truly significant. In this manner the research conducted was an attempt at reaching complementarity for both the quantitative and qualitative methods by virtue of the research framework that has been specifically designed here.…”

The large scale development projects like dams have been justified for a greater economic benefit of the nation. However, the development projects have become synonymous with land acquisition leading to dispossession and forced migration of a large number of people and their involuntary resettlement. Unfortunately, too much focus on the economic benefits of such large scale projects has omitted many relevant tangible and intangible socio-cultural aspects and ignored the impacts of development policies that shape forced migrations. The present paper asserts to move beyond the ‘limited’ economic analysis of large projects and includes the critical social and cultural implications of forced migration and displacement. The paper presents views of respondents displaced from the states of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra and were resettled inGujarat. Perhaps, it is the most unique aspect of this paper to understand the socio-cultural adjustment in context of the spatial origin. The resettlement caused by the Sardar Sarovar Project has led to a change in dress patterns and marriage customs, loss of tribal folk art, destroyed the existing social networks and hindered access to new ones. Increased violence against women, problem of drunkenness and bootlegging at the resettlement sites are also highlighted. The insights in the work are based upon the fieldwork in select resettlement sites inGujarat. The author adopted participant observation, focus group discussions and key informant interviews as a means for data collection and better comprehension of the study area.
