At a time when policies are increasingly against it, international
migration has become the subject of great public and academic
attention. This book departs from the dominant approach of studying
international migration at macro level, and from the perspective of
destination countries. The contributors here seek to do more than
'scratch the surface' of the migration process, by foregrounding
the voices and views of Ethiopian youth--potential migrants and
returnees--and of their sending communities. The volume focuses on
the perspective and agency of these young people, both potential
migrants and returnees, to better understand migration
decision-making, experiences and outcomes. It brings together
rarely documented cases of young men and women from several
communities across Ethiopia, migrating to the Gulf and South
Africa. Explaining the agency of local actors--prospective
migrants, brokers and sending families--Youth on the Move
illuminates the pervasive, persistent failure of state attempts to
regulate migration. Moreover, it examines the financing of
migration and the sharing of remittances, within a culturally
situated moral economy. While accounts centred on economics and
political violence are important, the contributors demonstrate
compellingly that these factors alone cannot provide a full
understanding of migration's complexity, nor of its social
realities.
