Death Before Dishonor. Dealing with Psychosocial Distress in the Aftermath of Forced-Return Migration in Dakar
1Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology, Institut für Ethnologie der Universität zu Köln, University of Cologne, Köln, Germany.
Abstract:
Migration from Africa to Europe has become increasingly precarious due to repressive European border policies, increasing the frequency of forced returns and affecting the psychosocial health of involuntary returnees. Ethnographic research in Dakar shows that forced returnees face psychological distress mediated by the experience of failure, leading to a stigmatized state of marginalization and dishonor (gathié, in Wolof) that damages family and community bonds. Emotional suffering is expressed through relevant sociocultural idioms, such as emotional withdrawal and the malade errant. Returnees confront these challenges through active tactics of resilience, navigating a landscape characterized by therapeutic pluralism.
