Book Description
This book discusses African migration and the refugee crisis. Economic, political and social tension in the Middle East and in many parts of the Global South has induced historic mass migration across national and international borders. The situation is especially dire in Africa, where a sizable number of Africans have chosen or have been forced to leave their countries of origin for Europe and North America. Written by an international team of scholars, this edited book traces the refugee crisis around the world, telling the necessary story of forced migration, intentional exclusion, and human insecurity from an Afrocentric lens. The volume is divided into three sections. Section I places African migration within the broader contexts of international history, law, economics, and policy. Section II discusses cases of African migration to Europe, Latin America, and the Mediterranean. Section III considers negative consequences of mass African migration, including the restriction 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.

Book Description
The Subcommitte on Immigration and Refugee Affairs (Senators Edward M. Kennedy, chairman, Alan M. Simpson and Paul Simon), hearing seven witnesses from both US state agencies and NGO's and reviewing several reports reproduced in the appendix (UNICEF, CARE, World Vision, US Committee for Refugees) tries to "understand (...) what the root causes are behind the refugee crisis in Southern Africa today, and what the USA and the international community must do if an even greater human tragedy is to be avoided". The countries of greatest concern are Angola and Mozambique which for the time being generate the largest numbers of refugees in Southern Africa which is likely to cause growing migration movements within the next years. Two features, it is stated, should characterize the Subcommittee's work: preciseness, and the will to learn the lessons from previous disasters. There are detailed evaluations of the numbers of refugees and of the staff available, the quantities of goods needed, the money and equipment available, the costs involved, etc. which allow to asses the actual material capacity of the US and the international community to help. On the other hand, there are the experiences made mainly in Ethiopia and Sudan in 1984, but also the current difficulties in Lebanon and Central America. They show that where civil strife or war (and not natural disasters) are at the origin of the crisis, the problems are not only logistical, but also political and tactical ones (for example: acceptance of the parties to establish "mercy corridors" in order to allow for the safe transport of food to remote areas, cease-fires for the protection of children and women, etc.). The Subcommittee seems to support the idea that there should be a UN regional coordinator appointed by the General Assembly, presenting the additional advantage of an explicit political backing not only of the donor nations.
African Refugees

Book Description
African Refugees is a comprehensive overview of the context, causes, and consequences of refugee lives, discussing issues, policies, and solutions for African refugees around the world. It covers overarching topics such as human rights, policy frameworks, refugee protection, and durable solutions, as well as less-studied topics such as refugee youths, refugee camps, LGBTQ refugees, urban refugees, and refugee women. It also takes on rare but emergent topics such as citizenship and the creativity of African refugees. Toyin Falola and Olajumoke Yacob-Haliso showcase the voices and experiences of individual refugees through the sweep of history to tell the African refugee story from the historical past through current developments, covering the full range of experience from the causes of flight to living in exile, all while maintaining a persistent focus on the complicated search for solutions. African Refugees recognizes African agency and contributions in pursuit of solutions for African refugees over time but avoids the pitfalls of the colonial gaze—where refugees are perpetually pathologized and Africa is always the sole cause of its own problems—seeking to complicate these narratives by recognizing African refugee issues within exploitative global, colonial, and neo-colonial systems of power.
