Over half the world lives under authoritarian regimes. For these people, the opportunity to engage in politics moves outside the state's borders. This book offers the first in-depth examination of the internal politics of transnational mobilisation. Studying Rwandans and Zimbabweans, it exposes the power, interests, and unexpected agendas animating diaspora politics.
1. The politics of animation; Part I. Zimbabwe: 2. The birth of the Zimbabwean diaspora; 3. Briefcase activists: death, afterlife, and performance; 4. Heroic humanitarians: a neglected contribution; Part II. Rwanda: 5. Opposing the RPF from abroad; 6. Constructing the statist diaspora; 7. Hijacked humanitarians: the campaign against cessation.
