7 Black-Owned Travel Groups That You and Your Squad Should Join

If you haven’t already noticed, black women are currently slaying the travel scene.

In fact, we are traveling now more than ever before. African-Americans’ intent to travel reportedly increased by 19 percent just from 2015 to 2016. According to the Mandala Research Firm, 17% of us take one or more international trips a year, and we spend $48 billion on travel in the United States alone.

But in a society where the typical jet-setter is portrayed as white, minority travelers are consistently underrepresented by the mainstream travel industry. Despite the media’s misrepresentation, there is a large, fast-growing community of black travelers, and these six trailblazing black travel groups are at the forefront.

All owned and operated by BAUCE women, they share a common goal: to shatter the stereotype that people of color don’t travel.

1. Nomadness Travel Tribe

With a demographic that’s 80% female and 85% African-American, the Tribe unites like-minded individuals looking for an alternative to mainstream travel. Those wishing to join must have at least one passport stamp and complete a Newbie Bootcamp. The average sellout time for their trips is five minutes!

2. Urban Events Global

Last but not least, this travel group is a secret gem that will help you discover the world. Founded in 2011, Urban Events Global members are predominately people of color who enjoy experiencing all that life has to offer, from exotic trips to international travel. The group currently has more than 50,000 members and includes accommodations for their international packages .

Every year the group hosts an adult camping trip in Central Texas for individuals who love the outdoors and are looking to bond and make new friends in the company of Mother Nature. For people that love the seas, Urban Events Group also offers a luxurious cruise weekend every March for ultimate party-goers.

If using your passport is more your travel style, then you can also partake in an annual international meetup that occurs in far-off, activity-packed locations. If you’re looking to mingle with a mature and fun-loving crowd, then Urban Events Global is your crew.

3. Travel Noire

Travel Noire’s message is simple: you can and should make travel a priority—and you don’t need a ton of money or vacation days to do so. And the best part? They’re here to show you how . Aside from offering exclusive group trips dubbed “Travel Noire Experiences,” the company recently launched Compass, a community course designed to equip members with the knowledge and tools needed to travel the world on their own terms. It features guides like “How to Convince Your Boss to Work From Anywhere” and “Hidden Destinations You Won’t Believe Exist”, along with live Q&A calls and trainings with world-class experts.

If that doesn’t draw you in, one look at their Instagram account will leave you overcome with wanderlust. Be prepared to spend hours scrolling through their colorful collection of real black travelers in the world’s most stunning destinations.

4. Tastemakers Africa

Cherae Robinson started the company to change the often-negative perceptions of the continent. Her former NGO job frequently led her to African countries, but her journeys were often met with fear and skepticism from those at home. But upon seeing people’s positive interest in response to the photos and stories she brought back with her, she saw an opportunity to transform the narrative by inviting people to experience some of the lesser known aspects of African life. Soon after, the Tastemakers brand was born, and it has since grown into a global community with offices around the world.

If you’re planning your own trip, be sure to check out their mobile app, TSTMKRS, to find the best events at your destination, ranging from hidden beach escapes to pop-up dining with local chefs!

5. Black Adventuristas

Inspired by her own life-changing experience, Garnett launched Black Adventuristas as a platform to encourage, celebrate, and connect adventurous black women. According to their Facebook page, the group “aims to inspire black women to conquer their fears, pursue their dreams, and fully experience the adventure that is life. Whether it is traveling the world, tackling an epic bucket list, quitting a “good” job to pursue a non-traditional career, trying a daring new hair or lipstick color, or simply dining alone for the first time, all adventures are worthwhile.” Check out their Instagram, Facebook, and Tumblr, and keep an eye out for their upcoming website.

6. Black Girls Travel Too

With that empowering message—along with their group tours of incredible destinations like Cuba and Barbados—Black Girls Travel Too is emboldening more and more women of color to discover the world on their own terms.

7. Passport Posse

Are you into traveling in crews? Then this is the group that you need to know about. Started by two travel addicts, Shantoya and Willie, outside of a cafe in Greece, Passport Posse was born from the need to reverse the negative perceptions and encounters that they had experienced as African-Americans in foreign countries. The goal of Passport Posse, according to their website, is to 1) encourage the travel frequency of minorities abroad, 2) provide a platform for healthy travel interactions and communities of practice, and 3) create trips and sponsor activities aimed to immerse globetrotters in the culture of the countries they have elected to visit.

One thing that makes Passport Posse unique is the fact that they really help you to reduce your overhead costs when lodging abroad if you sign up to become a member. Not to mention, this crew is filled with serious travel enthusiasts — the lead ambassadors have both collected at least 25 stamps (and counting) in their passports!

Many people will choose a tour group when they travel, because it will be more convenient, and traveling with a group of people will produce more interesting things. How to make your tour group more unique, you can customize your unique lanyards, and you can customize the group logo or pattern on it to give it to your members, which can not only promote your tour group but also easily distinguish your members for easy management. If you are traveling for a family or an individual, custom lanyards can be hung with a mobile phone or water bottle to free your hands and prevent them from being lost.

For us, by us: 5 black-owned travel groups you should know about | Travelling While Black

By oneika raymond.

Are you a Black traveller itching to see the world? Here are five groups shaping the Black Travel Movement and showing us how different and exciting Travelling While Black can be.

As a black traveller, I’ve been very vocal about the lack of diverse faces and voices in the travel industry as a whole (see this post for one of my more detailed rants on the issue). Western travel media in particular is rife with tourism campaigns and travel shows that are practically devoid of people of colour.  To hear them tell it, black travellers are few and far between, and “travelling while black” an anomaly.

But despite not being considered or targeted in mainstream travel marketing, people of colour *are* travelling– for fun, work, education, and spiritual growth– more than ever before.

Especially African-Americans. According to the New York Times , the Mandala Research firm found that nearly one-fifth of African-Americans take one or more international trips per year, and they spend $48 billion on travel within the United States *alone*.

And with the explosion of black travel (often referred to as the “black travel movement”) has come the much-needed creation of black-owned travel startups that provide resources and support for melanin-rich voyageurs .

Could it be that travelling while black is now a “thing”?

The Black Travel Movement

With this in mind, I’d like to feature five of my favourite black travel groups. These companies work hard to provide experiences that are tailored to a more diverse set of travellers; they change the narrative about what travellers look like and how they travel.

These companies go further than just featuring brown skin on marketing materials– they travel to lesser known “brown” destinations, and offer itineraries designed to foster integration and appreciation (rather than just observation and appropriation).

They not only make Travelling While Black look good, they make it normal and feasible.

And if that weren’t exciting enough, these five companies are all led by fierce, fearless sistas, who are as well-versed in how to run a successful business as they are in navigating foreign territory. I’m deeply honoured to know them all personally and have gleefully watched their ventures flourish over the years.

So, without any further ado, here are five black-owned travel startups you should know about:

 Nomadness Travel Tribe & TV (f or the budget-conscious black travel junkie)

The brand: One part web-series, one part online travel community, the Nomadness umbrella was one of the first of its kind. Over 15,000 members strong and anchored by a popping Facebook group, Nomadness is a one-stop shop for the urban traveller looking to see the world by any means necessary. Members can chat travel and trade tips on the forum, arrange international meetups, participate in group trips, and rock branded merchandise that identify them as part of what is affectionally known as “Tribe”. While adherents may be hardcore in their pursuit of passport stamps, they are also so close-knit that the unofficial tagline of the group has become “Family by Choice”.

The leader:  Plucky Evita Turquoise Robinson is as vibrant as her middle name suggests. A native of New York, she’s a born hustler and innovator– she initially started NomadnessTV as a way to record her experiences living in Japan, France, and Thailand and show other black people that they could travel too. She is also the brainchild behind NMDN ALTERnative Travel Conference, the first ever travel conference geared towards urban travellers. (Shameless plug: I spoke at a panel about travel blogging there!)

How to join: Tribe hopefuls can apply to join the group on Facebook by searching for Nomadness Travel Tribe on the site.

Up in the Air Life (for the black traveller who enjoys the finer things in life)

The brand:  A self-proclaimed “upscale travel company dedicated to social adventures”,   Up in the Air Life specializes in creating lifestyle experiences for working professionals who enjoy the finer things in life. While this travel tour company’s online forum explicitly states that it’s open to all travellers, its owners and employees are all people of colour, and its tour offerings (which boast jaunts to places like Haiti, Brazil, and Colombia) are skewed toward locations that comprise the African diaspora. Members (known as Lifers) are wanderers who not only explore the world in style but live life to the fullest.

The leader: Software sales rep and travel enthusiast Claire Soares is an adventurer at heart: I first met her in London (where she flew, on a whim, for 48 hours from the U.S.) then in Madrid, Spain (the day before she ran with the bulls in nearby Pamplona).  Affable and fun, Claire’s zeal for life and knack for planning group trips for family and friends prompted her to found UITAL.

How to join: Sign up for UITAL’s tours on their website and join their Facebook group for updates and travel advice.

Bucket List Beasts (for the black travel adrenaline junkie)

The brand: Bucket List Beasts is the startup that takes adventure travel to another level.  Offering adrenaline- filled experiences that push the envelope (and the limits of your sanity), the emphasis is on living each day as if it were your last. Members post pictures of themselves bungee jumping, shark diving, and drinking shots of cobra blood to the group’s online forum, and go on hosted trips to extreme destinations as far flung as Antarctica. Like surprises? Last year the enterprise hosted a mystery trip to Easter Island where attendees had no clue where they were going until they got to the airport. If you’re looking for a group that will excite you and challenge you to break out of your comfort zone, this is it.

The leader: It’s not hard to see why Sonjia Mackey is known as “Lioness” to her friends and acquaintances.  After all, she embodies her feline counterpart in every sense of the word: she’s a fearless bosslady with a competitive streak. Carpe diem personified, Sonjia has travelled to all 7 continents, done the world’s highest bungee jump in Macau, and swum with crocodiles. If it’s extreme, Sonjia has done it, and would like to inspire you to do it, too.

How to join: Search for the Bucket Lists Beasts group on Facebook.

Travel Noire (for the savvy, ultra-hip black traveller)

The brand: With features in major media outlets like CBS, The New York Times, and TIME Magazine, Travel Noire is the little startup that could. Now a huge digital platform dedicated to making travel more inclusive, Travel Noire’s slick Instagram feed (which has amassed an impressive 340,000 followers) was one of the first to share a steady stream of real travellers of colour interacting with jawdropping foreign backdrops.  The message is loud and clear: not only do we travel, but we look darn good doing it . Artisanally crafted group experiences and travel education are at the core of the company’s mission– group trips to places like Bali are offered alongside online seminars teaching newbies the art of travel hacking.

The leader: Zim Ugochukwu is a visionary, wise beyond her years, and used to thinking outside the box. At 19, she cloned a gene and was the youngest precinct judge for the state of North Carolina, and this year she was included in Forbes’ prestigious 30 under 30 list.  Despite these heady accolades, she radiates light and humility– something I couldn’t fail to notice when we both served as travel experts on Toyota’s digital campaign for the 2016 Avalon.

How to join: Go to Travel Noire’s website to find information for upcoming excursions as well as details for how to join their online community #TNDistrict.

Tastemakers (for the black traveller who has Africa on their mind)

The brand: This company’s slogan is bold but sets the tone for its mission: jetsetters are encouraged to “Travel Africa, Skip Mediocre”. With bespoke itineraries promoting immersive experiences in less-touristed places like Senegal, Rwanda, and Ghana, Tastemakers Africa is changing global perceptions about travel to the continent. It also has a mobile app that links curious travellers to unique cultural experiences from Cairo to Cape Town and Addis Ababa to Accra. At the forefront of the movement to use technology to empower people of colour to see more of the world, this insider’s guide to experiences in the Motherland is perfect for the traveller who wants to scratch beneath the surface.

The leader: Cherae Robinson has gone where few (wo)men have gone before in her quest to encourage more millenials to travel to Africa. This tenacious entrepreneur has worn many hats in her professional tenure (she has expertise in fundraising, media, and international development) and her work with humanitarian and public health agencies like the CDC, WHO, and CARE means that her resume reads a bit like an ad for alphabet soup. This superwoman, cited as one of the 10 Women to Watch by the United Nations, responds to the demands of a rapidly growing startup with aplomb.

The Takeaway- Travelling While Black is totally a thing!

Bottom line: The Black Travel Movement is growing at a spectacular rate and being shaped by groups like the ones highlighted above. Spread the word!

Are you part of any of these black travel groups?  Any other good ones that I’ve missed? And what do you think of the whole “Travelling While Black” phenomenon?

7 Best Travel Groups for Black Travelers

Sustainable travel expert, adventure seeker

Laurel, MD, USA

Exploring a destination with a group may help you navigate a new city better than you might have if you were traveling solo. But have you tried traveling with a group of people who inherently understands your existence? As humans, we are likely to group ourselves with people similar to us, so it isn’t a coincidence that Black people tend to travel in groups. From gathering at some of the best Black festivals IRL to cheerleading other Black travel bloggers online, for Black travelers, community and travel have always been intrinsically interlinked. If you’re a Black traveler looking to scratch your travel itch, try one of these seven Black travel groups on your next trip.

For Creative Travelers: Wind Collective

Wind Collective has only been around since 2017, and they’re already a force to be reckoned with. Their itineraries have taken travelers from places like Brazil all the way to The Philippines. The London-based collective believes in meshing creativity with travel, which is evident from their Instagram feed. Travelers joining this Black travel group can expect a ‘creative session’ where they’ll be authentically photographed and recorded as they enjoy their trip. These creative sessions serve as beautiful reminders of the experience (and make for great travel ‘grams, too).

As a way to infuse social good into everything they do, every Wind Collective trip includes a ‘give back session’ where travelers contribute to bettering the local communities in the destinations that they visit. They’ve given back in places all over the world like Bali, Cuba, and Colombia.

For Single Black Travelers: Haywire Weekend 

If you’re a single traveler, then Haywire Weekend might be for you. Touted as “the best weekend of your life”, Haywire expertly combines island life, luxury travel, and partying. They pride themselves on finding the best and most exclusive villas for every trip. If luxury travel is your thing, Haywire is for you.

As erratic as its namesake, Haywire Weekend is absolutely for single people, groups of friends, or couples who are traveling together. The crew is fun to follow along with on social media too. The company films epic episodes on their trips similar to the style of a reality television show. If boat parties and flowing bottles sound good to you, don’t forget to add Haywire to your list. 

For Solo Women: Black Girls Travel Too 

Black women looking to join a group trip should definitely consider Black Girls Travel Too . The travel company was founded to steer away from the narrative that Black women don’t travel. In her youth, BGTT’s founder, Danny Rivers-Mitchell, fell in love with traveling after a school field trip to Washington, D.C. The Alabama native started the organization as an online community on Instagram in 2015.

Since then, over 100K people have followed the company’s far-flung adventures. Previous destinations for their group trips have included London, Thailand, India, and Australia. Barbados, in particular, is a favorite destination for the group as they take travelers to the island each year to celebrate crop over: a carnival-style celebration held every summer. Black Girls Travel Too trips are immersive in the local cultures, often including volunteer opportunities, while providing camaraderie amongst Black women.  

For Adventurers: Urban Events Global 

Founded in 2011 as a camping trip for a group of friends, Urban Events Global is the go-to Black travel company for those seeking a bit of adventure. Every year, they host a range of trips including a camp weekend, two international trips, and a cruise weekend. UEG events are made for the curious, thrill-seeking Black traveler.

Urban Camp Weekend is usually held in the South; this year’s event was in New Braunfels, Texas. Campers can pull up in their own RVs, cozy up in a cabin, or pitch a tent. Activities include everything from tubing on the river to beach volleyball. The best part about this camp? No kids are allowed and there’s an open bar all weekend–a true adult camping experience. 

The company has hosted International trips in destinations like Capetown, South Africa where travelers got to explore nature and dive into the historical culture of the region. Urban Cruise Weekend takes travelers to breezy Caribbean destinations like Cozumel, Mexico. Adventurous Black travelers shouldn’t miss the chance to travel with this group. 

For Luxury Lovers: Yacht Week East Africa 

If your idea of luxury travel is living on a yacht in Seychelles for a week, then book your trip with one of our favorite Black travel groups— Yacht Week East Africa —immediately. This Yacht Week is a lot more welcoming than what some Black travelers have experienced when attending Croatia’s version. In Seychelles, travelers get to spend two days on land before hopping on the water for a week-long expedition. Water activities include snorkeling, fishing, swimming, and some yacht hopping, too.

Unique activities on the YWEA itinerary are a sunset beach BBQ and a full moon party. If Tanzania is tugging on your passport strings, the collective will bring in 2021 exploring Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar island. During 7 days of authentically experiencing Swahili culture, travelers will get to take a Spice Tour and visit Mikumi National Park. If Keyna is calling, join the community in Nairobi for safaris, white water rafting, and a visit to the best place for handcrafted goods, Maasai Market. 

For Group Tours Across Africa: Tastemakers Africa 

Traveling across the continent hasn’t always been easy or well connected, but Tastemakers Africa is the missing link. With Black travel group tours and experiences hosted by locals, Tastemakers is allowing people of African nations to tell their own stories. From Johannesburg to Accra, the platform lists various types of locally-led tours for travelers to choose from.

In Accra, one tour takes attendees to the former slave castles of Cape Coast, which was the last time many West Africans stepped foot on African soil before being shipped to The Americas during the transatlantic slave trade. Tastemakers tours allow travelers to link up with local insiders for experiences like a live music crawl in Johannesburg or fabric dying in Ghana. These authentic experiences are a great way for Black travelers of the African diaspora to connect with the parts of their ancestral roots. 

For Black Teens: beGirlWorld

beGirlWorld was founded in 2014 in Philadelphia as a way to empower young Black girls through global education and travel. Here, travel is a vehicle for cross-cultural experiences, future career paths, leadership, and inspiring new possibilities. The organization accepts donations that are often used to sponsor passports for their travelers. On their trips, the teens are exposed to cultural activities like language learning and culinary arts.

The program isn’t just about travel. It’s a structured two-year cohort that features notable guest speakers, lessons in travel planning, and assignments like interviewing travel professionals. At the end of the two years, the girls travel to destinations like London and Madrid as part of their graduation from the program. Organizations like beGirlWorld serve as important pillars in the Black community.

Black travel Facebook groups for Black solo female travelers

Picky Girls Travel Solo: A Solo Travel Network for Black Women

Black women traveling solo has been on the rise! And the Picky Girls Travel Solo Facebook group is an excellent resource for Black women who want to travel solo. Created by Adalia Aborisade of Picky Girl Travels the World, this space was created specifically for Black women solo travelers (including Nonbinary folks AFAB and trans women) to safely connect and network with each other. They welcome both new and experienced solo travelers to share their experiences, ask questions, and offer recommendations.

She Travels the Globe

While this group is more for leisure travel, it is one of my favorites as a Black woman traveler. Founded by Erika Martin, She Travels the Globe is one of the best Black travel groups on Facebook. The women share informative and knowledge tips from their travels that will inspire you to create your own. You can find Airbnb recommendations, destination tips, and even ask for recommendations yourself. Someone is sure to respond!  Also check out Erika’s website which was the inspiration for the Facebook group.

Why Black travel groups are important

Black travel communities are necessary! Not only do they provide opportunities to meet new people, but they help you find like-minded travelers with your shared identity. You learn from the people you travel with just as much as you learn from the destination you all visit. Get your passport, visa, and funds ready for an extraordinary adventure with these groups. You will not regret it!

This is one of the most highly regarded concepts about our BGTT journeys. “As they say, there are no random meetings in our lives, everyone we encounter has been put in our paths for a reason. We are intentional in our efforts to cultivate a sense of sisterhood in each journey we make with our tribe of ladies. With opportunities to venture to shops solo or navigate the town with the girls, dining together over delectable meals or mingling with the locals, you’re provided the freedom to run your own race, but together! You can be assured the vibe is genuine love, and experiential bonding. From the connections made, it isn’t uncommon for our ladies to link up after we return to the states, collaborate on business and even journey together again on another BGTT trip.

SENSE OF EMPOWERMENT

“Realize who you are and the game will change”

Traveling can be an intimidating experience for women, which is reason enough for us to proactively confront those potential barriers with the most beautiful hotels, reputable transportation, delicious cuisine, professional photography and so much more. Leaving you seeking new challenges, loving yourself more and soaking up the cultural experiences around you. Our previous travelers credit their experience for proving to themselves they’re stronger then they imagine, and it’s no secret, empowered women empower women.

NEW FOUND PERSPECTIVE

“Different cultures, shifting perspectives”

Many people associate travel with therapy and with good reason. Often challenged with dilemma’s and nuisances of daily life, dwelling on issues can deteriorate our mindset and overall well-being. Physically, separating yourself from a familiar place has an immense value to your perspective. Stepping away from normalcy will be a huge relief, you are deserving of. You won’t realize how good it feels to release, until you do just that and return to your daily life relaxed, refreshed and renewed.

CONSIDER IT HANDLED (CIH)

Embedding an inclusivity standard for all your future travels to live up to may or may not have been our intent with this one! If this is your first time traveling with BGTT you’ll love us for the peace of mind we offer by purposely arranging your transportation needs, stay accommodations activities and meals for you. Leaving you on cruise control to focus on making memories, and consider everything else, handled.

CONFIDENCE BOOSTER

The scenery, the cuisine, the people and the lifestyle in Cuba is simply magical and will challenge your comfort zones. Adventure from our predictable environments has so much potential to transform us for the better, expanding our self-knowledge, cultural appreciation and comfort zones making for the opportunity to consciously increase self-confidence.

LEAVE BETTER

Slipping into roles of complacency are often unintentional and unrecognizable. Let’s just be honest, life happens and so can shifts in our identity. After an empowering experience with BGTT you’re harvest from purposely investing in your inner wealth and health will leave you dripping inspiring girl magic and empowering other women to do the same.

HAVE YOU HEARD OF VOLUNTOURISM?

VOLUNTOURISM :

Vacation designed for volunteering.

Taking a week to volunteer your time towards a good cause is a life changing experience. You don’t need to be an attorney, politician, doctor, or even a teacher to leave a lasting impact on a community.

Intertwining your vacation with volunteering is a great way to not only travel the world, but to also make the world a better place. Not only do you become a better version of yourself, you will also make a difference by working alongside locals within communities you choose to serve.

We Work To Travel – ▪️We are like a Black “Tripadvisor”. 📗 Modern Day Green Book. 5000+ Tips by Black Travelers

WeWorkToTravel/GreenBookGlobal, is a travel platform that was created after the founder quit their job to travel to over 30 countries and all 7 continents. I realized as I was planning for each destination it took an absorbent amount of time to plan for each city. Even with massive travel sites already in play (you know the ones), it still takes an average of 10-20 hours to plan a trip. Well, why is that? I think it is for 3 main reasons:

• Travel content is not broken out by travel style
• Travel content is fragmented across multiple sites or even within a single site
• Once you find good travel content, you still need to vet the user(s)

WeWorkToTravel/GreenBookGlobal, tries to help ease the burden of these travel paint points with our unique offering. They provide comprehensive city guides by travel style and couple that with a custom rating tool where instead of rating an activity you rate your overall experience of a city. In other words, we give you a ton of travel content with a consistent structure and then enhance it with tips and experiences from travelers. They even have a proprietary search algorithm to help you find destinations that meet your criteria.

I just read part of this message from an contributor or Expert from Russia advising a traveler who is worried whether or not to carry passport or a copy of the passport in the event of being stopped by the police : "Your chances of being stopped for an id check increase greatly if you look Asian or Caucasian (the word Caucasian in Russia has an entirely different meaning than in the rest of the world - it means someone from the Caucasus region, usually with black hair and darker skin than most Russians, speaking Russian with a specific accent)."

The only people or people's I have ever seen the militia/police bother are those who hail from the Caucasus and or from Armenia, (this is where most illegal aliens come from to Russia). They may walk up to them, ask for papers, and if they don't have them, then they make them pay a small bribe not to take them to jail. Right or wrong, this is how many militia/police increase there income. They are not interested in the average (White or Black), tourist that would have a visa & or passport.

In Russia there were no black slaves. So please note, that when people say "negre" in Russia - it's the same as "Afro-American" or "Black" in USA, in Russian language "negr' is not something wrong or rude! This word is in use in literature or cinema.

Have a nice trip!

I think that your wife`s features will be the best attestation that she is a FOREIGNER and that means ZERO risk for her to be stopped by police for document check or smth. For all the rest - just common sense and stay on the safer side of the road. And YES black people is a rarity ( moderate one) in Russian streets. But in major cities where you plan to stay none will pay a second glance to your side.

Travel safely..............

African Entrepreneurs in Moscow: How They Did It Their Way

2014, Urban Anthropology and Studies of Cultural Systems and World Economic Development. 2014. 43: 1–3. P. 205–254.

The article will discuss the variety of African migrants’ pathways toward social recognition and success in a Russian megacity by describing and analyzing the experiences of the Ethio-pian owners of two establishments in Moscow: a lavish downtown restaurant, and a small café on an international university campus on the city’s outskirts. These cases display various points of both similarity and divergence, but are here regarded as examples of successful Af-rican entrepreneurship, each in its own way, contrasting with the usual representation of Afri-cans as passive victims in the receiving society. As background for the analysis we provide information on the changes that have occurred since the breakup of the USSR, and which have impacted on the migrants’ social composition, on their strategies of integration, and on the modes of their acceptance by the new sociocultural milieu. The research is based mainly on in-depth and semi-structured interviews with the two establishment owners, their employees, and guests conducted in May to June 2012. It reveals the factors that have pro-moted their successful establishment in the Russian capital as well as their own perceptions of the position of migrants within it.

The changes since the breakup of the USSR have impacted African migrants' social composition, as well as their strategies and forms of adaptation and integration in the capital city of Moscow. In this study, we discuss the factors influencing the choices of African migrants, related to their background as Africans and to their perceptions of the receiving society. We distinguish between two social groups of African migrants and argue that while one group seeks integration into the Russian society, the other limits itself to mere adaptation to life in Moscow.

Africans constitute a rather small minority among the migrants to Russia. It appears that their numbers, as well as their impact on society at large, will probably never become comparable to those of migrants from former Soviet republics, or even from some other countries, such as China. At the same time it is evident that the inflow of Africans to Russia is growing, and they are becoming more noticeable in the Russian ethnocultural landscape, and yet there is still only a handful of studies on Africans in post-Soviet Russia. Our project of the study of the African migrants in the Russian capital megacity Moscow included two interrelated parts: The pathways of sociocultural adaptation Africans choose, willingly or forcedly, the one hand, and their perception and acceptance / non-acceptance by the receiving society (as reflected in the prevailing opinion about Africans and especially in their most typical image among native Russian citizens), on the other.

This study casts a socially orientated analysis of the impact of the cinematic space since the introduction of cinematic technologies to Ethiopia as early as 1889 E.C. (1986/7), during Menelik II’s reign. By presenting ethnographic research and comparisons of historical sources this paper offers new insights into the development of both the built cinematic space in urban Addis and the popular rural travelling cinemas of the Italian occupation (1936-41). After comparing early discourses positioning the cinema between modernising aristocrats and conservative clerics, the discussion then turns to the Italian occupation and the proliferation of both outdoor and indoor cinemas throughout Ethiopia. During this era, alternative discourses shall be highlighted; such as the Italian administration’s use of cinema as an instrument of subjugation and mass regimentation, and the subversive resistance perpetrated by Ethiopian spectators as they mocked projections of Italian prestige. After briefly mentioning the post war developments and the state monopolisation of cinema under the Derg regime, the paper discusses the commercialisation of cinema and the social ambivalences created by built cinematic spaces which populate present-day Addis Ababa. Older cinemas, located near Piassa and Merkato will be associated with አራዳ ‘Arada’ prototypes and seen as enclaves of social and moral ambiguities, mimicking the spatial and symbolic characteristics of their locales. Whilst Matti Multiplex, with its three screens and 7D simulator, is read as a translocal space in which the global desires of Ethiopia’s aspiring middle class and the high-end, expat appeal of Bole Road collide.

Although Enochian studies is one of the flourishing disciplines in the field of Biblical studies, and hence the significance of the Ethiopic Enoch in recent development of the area, the cultural and textual significance of the Book of Enoch in the Ethiopian spiritual and textual tradition seems less established. The main objective of this paper will be to investigate the influence of the book of Enoch on shaping the Ethiopian imagination of the Afterlife by taking two Ethiopian eschatological narratives, namely Ra’әyä Maryam (Revelations of Mary) and Mängädä sämay (The Way to Heaven). The two narratives are selected particularly for they are among the category of Ethiopian texts that primarily, if not exclusively, focus on the eschatological dimension of human life. In addition, the high circulation rate of these two narratives, both orally and written, among the adherents of the Ethiopian Church makes them the legitimate materials to investigate the cultural significance of the Book of Enoch in the Ethiopian medieval literary production as well as the living Christian tradition of the country.
