Sommario/riassunto

This book discusses African migration and the refugee crisis. Economic, political and social tension in the Middle East and in many parts of the Global South has induced historic mass migration across national and international borders. The situation is especially dire in Africa, where a sizable number of Africans have chosen or have been forced to leave their countries of origin for Europe and North America. Written by an international team of scholars, this edited book traces the refugee crisis around the world, telling the necessary story of forced migration, intentional exclusion, and human insecurity from an Afrocentric lens. The volume is divided into three sections. Section I places African migration within the broader contexts of international history, law, economics, and policy. Section II discusses cases of African migration to Europe, Latin America, and the Mediterranean. Section III considers negative consequences of mass African migration, including the restriction and criminalization of migration, post-traumatic stress disorder, and gender-based violence. A compelling account of risk, resilience, and global power dynamics, this volume will be useful to students and researchers interested in African studies, migration, peace and conflict studies, and policy as well as professionals, practitioners, NGOs, IGOs, governmental and humanitarian organizations.

Sommario/riassunto

This book, originally published in 1877 by Duncker & Humblot, addresses the procedures for conducting inquiries into social conditions. It comprises three expert opinions and an appendix translated from English by I.M. Ludlow. The text explores the organization of inquiries, distinguishing between incomplete and fully organized inquiries. It discusses the formal types and procedural steps necessary for effective inquiries, emphasizing the importance of gathering economic and social facts with the goal of informing legislative decisions. The book aims to provide insights into the methods of organizing inquiries, based on experiences from Germany and comparisons with English and French inquiry procedures. It is intended for policymakers, sociologists, and researchers interested in



the methodology of social investigations.
