Sub-Saharan Africa
"Sub-Saharan Africa literally remains the "gift that keeps giving". The more we know about this region of a rich and diverse continent, the less we realize that we actually knew. Thus, this book, Sub-Saharan Africa: Culture, History and People, is an effort to yet again revisit a region that we thought we knew. It is a culmination of eclectic research efforts, both conceptual and empirical, that focus on sub-Saharan Africa from scholars around the world. The book serves as useful compendium to those who already study the field and as an indispensable handbook to beginners who wish study the region"--

Migration in a Globalizing World
Migration has assumed growing significance in the global development agenda as its potential for economic and social development is increasingly acknowledged. Within the Africa context, perceptions of migration as a negative phenomenon have shifted to recognition of its central role to Africa’s transformation. Despite this shift, emerging migration dynamics have not been adequately contextualized and conceptualized, making it difficult to integrate migration into development planning processes. This book attempts to fill the gaps in migration knowledge production, particularly from the perspectives of researchers in the global south and more specifically from Ghana. The chapters provide multi disciplinary perspectives in the contemporary migration landscape in Ghana and Africa. Rather than focus on migration as a problem to be solved, the chapters explore migration as an intrinsic part of the broader processes of structural change in Ghana, which could create opportunities for development if properly harnessed. This reader is an essential resource for migration and development researchers, students, policy makers, practitioners and others interested in the field of development.
