Produktbeschreibung

This collection examines various types of displacement, reasons for migration, and rebuilding after forced migration in Africa.

In Migration and Displacement in Africa: Social Exclusion, Intergenerational Healing, and Communal Restoration, Abdul Karim Bangura and the contributors provide an interdisciplinary analysis of the nexus between migration and displacement. Over the past decades, climate change, globalization, technology, and governance on the continent has changed significantly, impacting communities as well as individuals and contributing to changes in both voluntary and forced migration. In this volume, the contributors unpack recent developments in migration studies. They discuss the legacies of colonialism and neocolonialism, climate change displacement, environmental migration, religious-orientation as motivation for migration, LGBTQIA+ displacement, homelessness, and displacement due to violence and public health emergencies. They examine migrant identity reconstruction, how Sankofa relates to migration and displacement, communal restoration after forced migration, COVID-19 and its impact on migrants, migration as represented in literature, the migration of youth, and bridging distances using digital technology. Bangura and the contributors argue that understanding migration and displacement in Africa requires a multifaceted approach which this collection uses to highlight the complex nature of migration and displacement issues today. This book is suitable for scholars, professors, students, and policy makers in African studies and other social and behavioral sciences.
