About this book
The volume is divided into three sections. Section I places African migration within the broader contexts of international history, law, economics, and policy.

Section III considers negative consequences of mass African migration, including therestriction and criminalization of migration, post-traumatic stress disorder, and gender-based violence. A compelling account of risk, resilience, and global power dynamics, this volume will be useful to students and researchers interested in African studies, migration, peace and conflict studies, and policy as well as professionals, practitioners, NGOs, IGOs, governmental and humanitarian organizations.
