African migrants have become increasingly demonised in public
debate and political rhetoric. There is much speculation about the
incentives and trajectories of Africans on the move, and often
these speculations are implicitly or overtly geared towards
discouraging and policing their movements. What is rarely
understood or scrutinised however, are the intricate ways in which
African migrants are marginalised and excluded from public
discourse; not only in Europe but in migrant-receiving contexts
across the globe. Invisibility in African Displacements offers a
series of case studies that explore these dynamics. What tends to
be either ignored or demonised in public debates on African
migration are the deliberate strategies of avoidance or
assimilation that migrants make use of to gain access to the
destinations or opportunities they seek, or to remain below the
radar of restrictive governance regimes. This books offers
fine-grained analysis of the ways in which African migrants
negotiate structural and strategic invisibilities, adding
innovative approaches to our understanding of both migrant
vulnerabilities and resilience.
