Reviews

In this conceptually adventurous, empirically rich, and engagingly written book, Jill Rosenthal brings a new perspective to histories of Tanzanian nationalism and to the comparative study of nationalism in postcolonial Africa. At the same time, she contributes to histories of decolonization, sovereignty, and state-making by showing how these questions were worked through in a border region. From Migrants to Refugees moves the field in exciting and innovative ways. --Emma Hunter, author of Political Thought and the Public Sphere in Tanzania: Freedom, Democracy, and Citizenship in the Era of Decolonization Jill Rosenthal's detailed history of border making and border crossing reveals both the identification of people with place and its blurring by extensive movement across space. From Migrants to Refugees is a compelling and important contribution not only to the cross-border consequences of the Rwandan quagmire, but also to our understanding of the relationship in an unequal world between international organizations, African people, and an African state. --Frederick Cooper, author of Africa since 1940: The Past of the Present
