Migrants and Strangers in an African City Exile, Dignity, Belonging

"A worthy contribution to the growing fields of immigration studies, transnationalism, and globalization and a very readable analysis of the dynamics of contemporary life in an African city." Phyllis M. Martin, Indiana University "Strong ethnographic evidence and case studies bolster the author's presentation, which is solidly grounded historically and anthropologically in current and earlier literature. An excellent example of multisited research projects in an age of globalization. ... Highly recommended." Choice, October 2012 "Migrants and Strangers in an African City"On the whole, Migrants and Strangers in an African City is a significant contribution, useful across various disciplines, from anthropology and history to political science and sociology. Furthermore, students of migration studies, transnationalism, identity, as well as market-dominant minorities will find great merit in this work."--African and Asian Studies
