Paolo Gaibazzi
I am social anthropologist working on the Gambia and in Angola, on issues of (im)mobility, post-slavery, contingency, borders and migration governance.
My monograph "Bush Bound: young men and rural permanence in migrant Gambia" is an ethnographic exploration of immobility and social reproduction, questioning received assumptions about youth, migration and agrarian futures.
I have subsequenly conducted fieldwork in Angola on how West African Muslim traders grapple with economic volatility and regimes of illegalization and deportation.
I will soon begin a new project on "AfroEuropean Frontiers" supported by the Heisenberg Programme of the German Research Foundation (DFG). The project expands previous work on the externalization of European borders to Africa by looking at the European side of the AfroEuropean space.
The project also continues long-standing research on post-slavery in West Africa and the West African diaspora, how legacies of slavery inform the exploitation of West African agricultural labourers in Italy.
