POPULISM AS A COMMUNICATION STYLE Political scientists are increasingly branding as populism certain political phenomena, or a certain breed of politicians, or some ways of doing politics. In this regard, Chipkin (2007) notes that the removal of race as a core determinant of citizenship in post-apartheid South Africa opened a complex question of “who are the people” that should be served by the democratic dispensation. keywords: 2019; africa; anti; country; crisis; discourse; foreigners; immigration; mashaba; people; politics; populist; south; south africa; xenophobia cache: ahmr-1071.pdf plain text: ahmr-1071.txt item: #4 of 162 id: ahmr-1075 author: Kyei-Gyamfi, Sylvester title: Fish-for-Sex (FFS) and risk of HIV Infection among Fishers in Elmina Fishing Community in Ghana date: 2022-08-31 words: 9371 flesch: 56 summary: For this reason, female fish traders are sometimes compelled to look for sex partners among male fishers at fishing destinations.

For instance, in Zambia refugees whose status has ceased are required to provide a national registration card and passport to be considered for local integration.6 With these documents, refugees, can get residence permits, employment permits, business permits and other permits. keywords: citizenship; country; integration; note; refugees; risk; situations; statelessness; zambia cache: ahmr-1155.pdf plain text: ahmr-1155.txt item: #22 of 162 id: ahmr-1157 author: Tevera, Daniel title: Citizen and Pariah date: 2022-08-22 words: 765 flesch: 40 summary: Part 2, on regulation and containment, consists of eleven chapters that provide nuanced analyses of the survival strategies employed by Somali entrepreneurs to remain viable in an environment that is generally hostile to African migrant entrepreneurship.
