Review :
Combining sharp theoretical and empirical analyses with detailed contemporary and historical insights, this book examines the main features and implications of the migration-development nexus in the African context. The book is remarkably straightforward and lucidly written. Indeed, it is hard to know what to admire most about it— its multidisciplinary approach, its thorough analysis, or the sheer elegance with which all the chapters come together in a coherent whole. Every serious student of migration will need to read this book. A book on the subject of migration and development can only catch the attention of a variety of readers if it is innovative in a number of ways, and this is the strength of this volume. It has diverse topics that have been carefully selected to cover the subject comprehensively. The reader will find the variety of the disciplinary backgrounds of the authors and methodologies employed as the volume’s greatest strength and attractiveness. The issues examined include longstanding ones such as the brain drain and brain gain. The discussion on rural development resulting from diaspora associational activities is a specific area in the migration and development discourse that will be welcome by policy makers. Some concepts that have recently emerged or are receiving greater attention now in the field of study are not excluded in this volume, and they make it interesting: associational life of migrants, political participation of trans-migrants, repatriation, climate change and migration, among others. The volume is relevant to both the policy maker and academic researcher that need to know more about the migration-development nexus apart from the development effects of migration.
