Includes abstract. The dissertation explores concepts of upward social mobility, proper personhood and processes of social change as a result of the rural-urban migration provoked by the war in post-colonial Angola between 1975 and 2002. The study focuses on the city of Benguela, which received large numbers of war-displaced people, most of whom settled in bairros, informal settlements surrounding the cidade, the formally structured area of the town. The experience of displacement and establishment in urban areas is not marked only by material struggles and recent experiences of violence, displacement, humanitarian aid and so on, but also by social and historical constructions of rural-urban relationships and of urban space. These frame actors' choices, decisions and actions. I show that 'war-displaced people' are individuals with a history and in history. 2015-02-04T19:09:13Z 2015-02-04T19:09:13Z 2009 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12370 eng application/pdf Social Anthropology Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
