Abstract: Migration debates tend to focus on the numbers of people moving, whether they are economic migrants or asylum seekers, deserving or not of protection. This categorization usually rests on national identity, necessitating simplified one-dimensional representations. Ndlovu uses a case study of Zimbabwean migrants memorializing Gukurahundi in Johannesburg to highlight the ways in which migration narratives can be more complex and how they may shift over time. She presents Gukurahundi and the formation of the MDC in Zimbabwe, along with xenophobic violence in South Africa, as examples of the ways that the meanings of national and ethnic identities are contested by the migrants and influenced by political events across time and space.

把津巴布韦想象成家：种族、暴力和移民

摘要：移民辩论倾向于关注迁移的人数，无论他们是经济移民还是寻求庇护者，是否值得保护。这种分类通常取决于国家身份，需要简化的一维表示。Ndlovu 使用津巴布韦移民在约翰内斯堡纪念 Gukurahundi 的案例研究来强调移民叙事可能变得更加复杂的方式以及它们如何随着时间的推移而变化。她展示了 Gukurahundi 和津巴布韦 MDC 的形成，以及南非的仇外暴力，作为移民质疑民族和种族身份的意义以及受到跨时空政治事件影响的方式的例子。
