Mobility Between Africa, Asia and Latin America

Offers of collection of essays exploring the movement of people, commodities, and ideas between Africa and the wider global South, with empirical case studies ranging from Senegalese migrants in Argentina to Lebanese traders in Nigeria. The contributors argue that this exchange represents a form of 'globalization from below' which defies many of the prevailing Western assumptions about migration and development, and which can only be understood if we consider the full range and complexity of migrant experiences. --From publisher description.
