Download or read book Long Journeys African Migrants on the Road written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-06-15 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trapped inside lorries or huddled aboard unseaworthy boats, irregular African migrants make for troubling headlines in western media, fueling fever pitch fears of an impending "African exodus" to Europe. Despite the increasing, albeit sensational, attention irregular migration attracts on both sides of the Mediterranean, little is known about what shapes and influences the lives of these Africans before, during, and after their “migratory projects.” By privileging migrants' narratives and drawing on evidence-based field research from different disciplinary backgrounds, the volume demystifies and dislodges many common assumptions about the human ecology of irregular African migration to Europe, arguably one of the most widely debated, yet least understood, phenomenon of our time.

Download or read book Understanding Global Migration written by James F. Hollifield and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding Global Migration offers scholars a groundbreaking account of emerging migration states around the globe, especially in the Global South. Leading scholars of migration have collaborated to provide a birds-eye view of migration interdependence. Understanding Global Migration proposes a new typology of migration states, identifying multiple ideal types beyond the classical liberal type. Much of the world's migration has been to countries in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and South America. The authors assembled here account for diverse histories of colonialism, development, and identity in shaping migration policy. This book provides a truly global look at the dilemmas of migration governance: Will migration be destabilizing, or will it lead to greater openness and human development? The answer depends on the capacity of states to manage migration, especially their willingness to respect the rights of the ever-growing portion of the world's population that is on the move.

Book excerpt: Fifteen chapters are included here in this compendium in honour of the Nigerian migration scholar Professor Aderanti Adepoju. Though the authors come from diverse disciplinary backgrounds: geography, demography, sociology and law they all work within the fields of internal and international migration in Africa.

Migration issues in relation to women, students and climate change are also discussed.

Download or read book The Palgrave Handbook of South South Migration and Inequality written by Heaven Crawley and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-12-27 with total page 768 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access handbook examines the phenomenon of South-South migration and its relationship to inequality in the Global South, where at least a third of all international migration takes place. Drawing on contributions from nearly 70 leading migration scholars, mainly from the Global South, the handbook challenges dominant conceptualisations of migration, offering new perspectives and insights that can inform theoretical and policy understandings and unlock migration’s development potential. The handbook is divided into four parts, each highlighting often overlooked mobility patterns within and between regions of the Global South, as well as the inequalities faced by those who move. Key cross-cutting themes include gender, race, poverty and income inequality, migration decision making, intermediaries, remittances, technology, climate change, food security and migration governance. The handbook is an indispensable resource on South-South migration and inequality for academics, researchers, postgraduates and development practitioners.

Download or read book Mobilit s dans l espace ouest africain written by Elisabeth Boesen and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2014 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ce volume aborde des phénomènes de mobilité spatiale rarement pris en considération dans les débats actuels en sciences sociales où elle est considérée comme un "principe général de la modernité" (BonB et al. 2004) et célébrée comme un nouveau paradigme. À l'exemple de l'espace Sahara-Sahel, les auteurs traitent ici de variantes "banales" de la mobilité et du mouvement dans la mesure où elles représentent des formes élémentaires de recherche de subsistance et de revenu. Ces formes sont le contraire de ce que l'on peut assimiler à des stratégies de "libre choix" ou à des expressions d'une individualité moderne. Une des particularités des contributions présentées ici est d'analyser diverses formes de mobilité spatiale, tant régionales qu'à travers des exemples classiques de migration européenne, non seulement en fonction de leurs effets économiques sur l'individu et la collectivité d'origine mais aussi des implications locales et régionales qu'elles génèrent. L'objectif de cet ouvrage est ainsi d'attirer l'attention sur le fait que ces mouvements présentent un potentiel inhérent de changement et de développement. Les textes ont été rédigés à partir des communications présentées à un atelier de travail interdisciplinaire financé par la Fondation allemande pour la Recherche (DFG), à Bamako en février 2011. Des études empiriques sur l'espace Sahara-Sahel y ont été mises en lumière dans une perspective "vue de loin", qui compare les conditions politiques et administratives des mobilités en Afrique de l'Ouest et en Amérique latine. S'y ajoute une perspective "vue de près" qui suggère une conception de la mobilité inspirée de celle des nomades sahélo-sahariens et non de celle des voyageurs occidentaux modernes."--P.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the challenges facing the African family and their multiple effects from an extremely broad perspective. The contributors explore the nature of available data on which current policies are premised, marriage patterns, the role of the family in agriculture, the changing roles and status of women, the transformations generated by mass migration, the strains and tensions wrought by structural adjustment programmes and the functioning of family law. Throughout, the book makes clear the importance of the family to the development process. The contributors call on development strategists to see the family as a dynamic source of change as much as the recipient of it; as such this book is essential reading for students, academics and activists in development studies.
