Fighting For Dignity: African Lives on Israel’s Margins
Hosted By: The Siegal Lifelong Learning Program at Case Western Reserve University
How did Israel become home to global migrants from countries as different as Ghana and the Philippines, Nigeria, Colombia, and Ukraine? Anthropologist Sarah Willen will draw on her long-term fieldwork with Nigerian, Ghanaian, and Filipino migrants in Tel Aviv to shed light on the everyday lives of migrant workers in Israel and of the Israelis who felt compelled to advocate on their behalf. Drawing on fieldwork in homes and in churches, medical offices, human rights organizations, and public spaces, the talk will explore how these migrants struggle to craft meaningful, flourishing lives despite the exclusions and vulnerabilities they endure.
