Description
Summary:This book is an exciting addition to the migration studies literature, presenting research conducted in Britain, France and South Africa which explores the migration experiences of African families across two generations. Global processes of African migration are examined through a comparative approach that employs an intergenerational lens to uncover the ways in which familial relations, citizenship and belonging are shaped post-migration. This comparative approach explores the commonalities of African migration as well as the differential impacts as a result of particular socio-cultural contexts and national migration regimes. The book enables readers to learn about the lived experiences of African migrants in areas such as citizenship, belonging, intergenerational transmission, work, education, social mobility and discrimination.
