Africans in Europe : The Culture of Exile and Emigration from Equatorial Guinea to Spain Paperback / softback
by Michael Ugarte
Part of the Studies of World Migrations series
Paperback / softback
Description
What differentiates emigration from exile? This book delves theoretically and practically into this core question of population movements.
Tracing the shifts of Africans into and out of Equatorial Guinea, it explores a small former Spanish colony in central Africa.
Michael Ugarte examines the writings of Equatorial Guinean exiles and migrants, considering the underlying causes of such moves and arguing that the example of Equatorial Guinea is emblematic of broader dynamics of cultural exchange in a postcolonial world. Based on personal stories of people forced to leave and those who left of their own accord, Africans in Europe captures the nuanced realities and widespread impact of mobile populations.
By focusing on the geographical, emotional, and intellectual dynamics of Equatorial Guinea's human movements, readers gain an inroad to "the consciousness of an age" and an understanding of the global realities that will define the cultural, economic, and political currents of the twenty-first century.
