For centuries, Africa and the rest of the global South have maintained robust trade connections and fostered cultural exchange. However, since the end of the Cold War, these connections have undergone a significant expansion and diversification, with emerging economies like China, India, and Brazil emerging as crucial players in both trade and migration. While these trends have garnered increasing scholarly attention, there has been a limited understanding of the sheer breadth and diversity of this exchange, as well as its profound social impact.
This collection aims to shed light on the intricate movement of people, commodities, and ideas between Africa and the broader global South. It features a diverse range of empirical case studies, spanning from Senegalese migrants in Argentina to Lebanese traders in Nigeria, providing a comprehensive examination of this exchange. The contributors argue that this exchange represents a form of "globalization from below," challenging prevailing Western assumptions about migration and development. It demands a comprehensive consideration of the diverse experiences of migrants, recognizing their contributions to economic and social dynamics in both Africa and the global South.
Mobility between Africa, Asia, and Latin America is a multidisciplinary work that appeals to students and scholars across various social sciences. It offers valuable insights into the interconnected economic and social structures of the global South, highlighting the complexities and nuances of this exchange. By exploring the experiences of migrants, the collection contributes to a more nuanced understanding of the dynamics shaping our world today.
