Description

Fifteen chapters are included here in this compendium in honour of the Nigerian migration scholar Professor Aderanti Adepoju. Though the authors come from diverse disciplinary backgrounds: geography, demography, sociology and law they all work within the fields of internal and international migration in Africa. Chapters on Uganda, Kenya, Botswana, Nigeria and Mali are devoted to aspects of internal migration, while those on African emigration to Mexico and migration between Burkina Faso and Côte d'Ivoire address various aspects of international migration. Migration issues in relation to women, students and climate change are also discussed.

From an apparently bright future during the era of independence into the early 1970s, through…deteriorating economic and political conditions…to the perception in the 1990s of a dismal future, many Africans now see migration as their last hope for improving their living standards.

– Aderanti Adepoju 2006

There are daunting challenges with respect to all forms of migratory flows, but especially regarding irregular migration, human trafficking, and the emigration of skilled professionals. The situation calls for the development of a co-ordinated implementation of policies and programmes and a comprehensive framework to ad3dress issues of migration.

– Aderanti Adepoju 2009
