Book Description:
|
This volume examines the relationship between hope, mobility, and immobility in contemporary African migration. Through case studies within and beyond the continent, it demonstrates that hope offers a unique prism for analyzing migrants' horizons of expectation and possibility in situations of uncertainty, deepening inequality and increasingly restrictive regimes of mobility.
