Specifically, I undertake an ethnographic research to analyze the activities of the associations of the Eritrean diasporas in four cities, namely Amsterdam, Milan, Stockholm, and Washington DC. I will explain how the associations of the Eritrean diaspora operate, mobilize resources, and organize their volunteering activities. In doing so, and based on field notes and interviews with respondents, I will provide answers to my guiding question: why do they engage?</p> <p>Despite the geographical and political obstacles regarding the access of data, I was able to conduct forty-five individual interviews, three focus groups and three informal discussions with members of associations of the Eritrean diaspora.</p> Eritrean Associations Migration Diaspora Racism Discrimination Transnationalism Rituals Dewey 301 122 Département de sociologie T4 false 2523e9bc-54cd-4332-932a-11ea2bc203b3 Thesis Private These301EngagingwithDiasporaEritrea.pdf 2968678 application/pdf e7da4fcaf1f49a314828139f571c5d139b1f69fc9e8121a872d064b0b7c7e488 fc7e1255-30c8-48fe-ba87-cba7cf6f4618 Imprimatur Public IMPRIMATUR_WOLDEYOHANNES_Hélène_Awe.pdf 59116 application/pdf ac5ad85bed1ae21eac2a9f3d706a18b70df7a5e4272d128e6ce582bb897d49c6 closedAccess Faculté des sciences de la société / Département de sociologie
