Ele procura apresentar aos futuros pesquisadores a ampla escolha de fontes primárias e secundárias disponíveis nos arquivos da Gâmbia. Palavras-chave: Arquivos, fontes, História Africana, Gâmbia, Kaabu Introduction Since the 1930s, Western scholars have become enamoured of doing research in The Gambia on history, anthropology, linguistics, theology and politics.1 Of late also, especially since the establishment of the University of The Gambia in 2000, there is emerging a little amount of archival research by local scholars and students. The fall of the feared Gambian despot, Yahya Jammeh in 2017 has generated to an influx of foreign researchers who now feel safe to work in the country. In a nutshell, there is currently a fair amount of research interest on The Gambia by local and foreign scholars which is set to Direito autoral e licença de uso: Este artigo está licenciado sob uma Licença Creative Commons.

  • For the Gambia, Our Homeland: the Diaspora, Development and Politics
    FOR THE GAMBIA, OUR HOMELAND: THE DIASPORA, DEVELOPMENT AND POLITICS Sainabou Taal University College London (UCL) Department of Geography Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2016 1 I, Sainabou Taal confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract This thesis aims to explore the potential of small diasporas to contribute to development and politics at ‘home’. Thereby informing inter-disciplinary thinking at the intersection of migration studies, development studies and politics. I argue that where there is a discussion of diaspora’s political engagement in the existing migration-development literature, it is either hidden behind the shield of ‘development’ or restricted to questions of violent conflict. The central claim of the thesis is that the migration-development nexus needs to address formal politics more explicitly. The Gambian diaspora are an interesting group to research because the country has not experienced violent conflict in recent years and the diaspora are making contributions to development at ‘home’. However, they are also simultaneously seeking to intervene in homeland politics, which they view as another form of development contribution. This research is a multi-sited study conducted in The Gambia, UK, and US. This thesis is based on 24 interviews with 52 participants undertaken in The Gambia with elites, students, government officials, politicians, and return migrants between February 2013 and December 2014. 49 interviews with members of the Gambian diaspora in the UK and US, and 10 interviews with heads of Gambian diaspora associations in the UK.
