Contemporary African Migrations, Gebunden

Klappentext

This open access, groundbreaking collection sheds new light on the lives and livilhoods of members of emerging African diaspora around the world.

Across seven chapters, the book explores "new" African diasporas in both the Global North and Global South - that is, diasporas formed through more recent, usually unforced migration patterns, as opposed to those formed via older, often forced migrations such as those caused by the Atlantic slave trade. Along the way, this global, multidisciplinary team of researchers, themselves hailing from both the Global North and Global South, provide crucial insights into common issues and problems faced by members of these new diaspora, including social acceptance, economic challenges, and psychological and identity struggles.

This is a must-read for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers interested in migration, global development, and contemporary developments in social perceptions of African identities.
