ASC Seminar: Artisanal Mining & Youth

Deborah Fahy Bryceson, University of Glasgow Livelihoods, leisure and love in Tanzanian urbanizing mine settlements. Over the last three decades artisanal gold mining has increasingly provided a source of employment for hundreds of thousands of miners as well as service providers in Tanzania. Many of the migrants involved are youthful, migrating in the hopes not only of economic improvement but modernity and rising social status. This presentation is primarily concerned with their aspirations, the dynamics of conjugal ties and material welfare outcomes amidst high levels of migration. Please register.
