Jocelyne Streiff-Fenart African History sku-28319601

This paperback by Jocelyne Streiff-Fenart, listed under African History Books as sku-28319601, examines how European border restrictions have changed migration in Africa. It considers altered routes and the people involved, along with changes in migrant identities, categories and how migrants are perceived by transit societies and communities left behind.

Border crossing has become a central concern for migrants and border-control institutions alike. The volume uses the idea of a "threshold" to study border policies, stopping places and the experience of people caught between migration and settlement. It also considers how prolonged transit can prompt solidarity or revive xenophobia around the Mediterranean and on routes toward South Africa.
