What differentiates emigration from exile? This book delves
theoretically and practically into this core question of population
movements. Tracing the shifts of Africans into and out of
Equatorial Guinea, it explores a small former Spanish colony in
central Africa. Michael Ugarte examines the writings of Equatorial
Guinean exiles and migrants, considering the underlying causes of
such moves and arguing that the example of Equatorial Guinea is
emblematic of broader dynamics of cultural exchange in a
postcolonial world. Based on personal stories of people forced to
leave and those who left of their own accord, Africans in Europe
captures the nuanced realities and widespread impact of mobile
populations. By focusing on the geographical, emotional, and
intellectual dynamics of Equatorial Guinea's human movements,
readers gain an inroad to "the consciousness of an age" and an
understanding of the global realities that will define the
cultural, economic, and political currents of the twenty-first
century.
