This handbook provides an authoritative multidisciplinary overview of contemporary African international migration. It endeavours to present a single source of reference on issues such as migration history, trends, migrant profiles, narratives, migration-development nexus, migration governance, diasporas, impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, among others.
The handbook assembles a multidisciplinary contributor team of distinguished and upcoming Africanist scholars, practitioners, researchers, and policy experts both inside and outside Africa to contribute their perspectives on contemporary African migration. It attempts to address some of the following pertinent questions:
- What drives contemporary migration in Africa?
- How are its patterns and trends evolving?
- What is the architecture of migration governance in Africa?
- How do migration, diaspora engagement and development play out in Africa?
- What are the future trajectories of African migration?
The handbook is a valuable resource for practitioners, politicians, researchers, university students, and academics interested in studying and understanding contemporary African migration.
This book defies definitive classification. Many of the survey papers are what you would expect in a handbook: broad and sufficiently detailed overviews with substantial bibliographies for readers who want to go further. A few of the survey papers and case studies are more conceptual and theoretical, while some of the case or micro studies are rich and thought-provoking investigations. Everything is contemporary and the data and references are up to date as promised in the title. As such, the book offers a valuable entry point for students, journalists, and researchers in this field.
