Shifting the Focus of Migration Back Home: Perspectives from Southern Africa

Loren B Landau and Darshan Vigneswaran

Development, 2007, vol. 50, issue 4, 82-87

Abstract: Loren B. Landau and Darshan Vigneswaran raise three fundamental critiques about how contemporary migration and development debates are likely to affect sub-Saharan Africa. They suggest that the focus should shift from movements out of Africa to migration, displacement and urbanization within the continent in order to take into account the negative effects of migration on families, conflict and political accountability. They argue that given that the balance of negotiating power rests with Europe and North America, it is unlikely that any future agenda on migration will give priority to African interests.
