Description
In an era of globalization, population growth, and displacements, migration is now a fact of life in a constantly shifting economic and political world order.
This book contributes to the discourse on the beneficiaries, benefactors, and the casualties of African displacement.
While the few existing studies have emphasized economic motivation as the primary factor triggering African migration, this volume treats a range of issues: economic, socio-political, pedagogical, developmental, and cultural. Organized with a multidisciplinary thrust in mind, this book argues that any discussion of African migration, whether internal or external, must be conceived as only one aspect of a more complex, organic, and global patterning of "flux and reflux" necessitated by constantly shifting dynamics of world socio-economic, cultural, and political order.
