Many African migrants residing abroad nurture a hope to one day
return, at least temporarily, to their home country. In the wake of
economic crises in the developed world, alongside rapid economic
growth in parts of Africa, the impetus to 'return' is likely to
increase. Such returnees are often portrayed as agents of
development, bringing with them capital, knowledge and skills as
well as connections and experience gained abroad. Yet, the reality
is altogether more complex. In this much-needed volume, based on
extensive original fieldwork, the authors reveal that there is all
too often a gaping divide between abstract policy assumptions and
migrants' actual practices. In contrast to the prevailing optimism
of policies on migration and development, Africa's Return Migrants
demonstrates that the capital obtained abroad is not always
advantageous and that it can even hamper successful
entrepreneurship and other forms of economic, political and social
engagement.
