Description

 

African Refugees is a comprehensive overview of the context, causes, and consequences of refugee lives, discussing issues, policies, and solutions for African refugees around the world. It covers overarching topics such as human rights, policy frameworks, refugee protection, and durable solutions, as well as less-studied topics such as refugee youths, refugee camps, LGBTQ refugees, urban refugees, and refugee women. It also takes on rare but emergent topics such as citizenship and the creativity of African refugees. African Refugees recognizes African agency and contributions in pursuit of solutions for African refugees over time but avoids the pitfalls of the colonial gaze—where refugees are perpetually pathologized and Africa is always the sole cause of its own problems—seeking to complicate these narratives by recognizing African refugee issues within exploitative global, colonial, and neo-colonial systems of power.

Congratulations to two sound scholars. I can't imagine a better duo to do justice to this critical subject than TF and Olajumoke, and no better publishers than IUP. May your pens never go dry! Keep the flag flying, folks!

Splendid. Congratulations to the authors for the publication of this timely and well-conceptualized book on a most important subject.

What a way to start the new year.

We can only hope that our policy makers and think-tank folks are listening.

Funso.
