It offers an overview of the research landscape and introduces an agency-centered theoretical model that provides a conceptual framework for translocality. The authors Malte Steinbrink and Hannah Niedenführ plead for a translocal approach to social transformation, showing how the translocality of livelihoods is shaping the lives of half a billion people on the continent and impacting local conditions. Using an action-oriented approach, the book analyzes the effects of translocal livelihoods on diverse aspects of economic, environmental and social change in rural Sub-Saharan Africa. The study thus makes an innovative contribution not only to migration research and development studies but also to the discussion around the policy and practice of development cooperation and planning. It is time to rethink development in light of translocal realities. The book appeals to scholars and researchers in geography, sociology, policy-making and planning, development studies, migration research and rural development.Springer Geography,2194-3168Human geographyCultural geographyEmigration and immigrationGeographyEconomic developmentAfricaPolitics and governmentAfricaEconomic conditionsSocial and Cultural GeographyHuman MigrationRegional GeographyDevelopment StudiesAfrican PoliticsAfrican EconomicsHuman geography.Cultural geography.Emigration and immigration.Geography.Economic development.AfricaPolitics and government.AfricaEconomic conditions.Social and Cultural Geography.Human Migration.Regional Geography.Development Studies.African Politics.African Economics.325.67Steinbrink Malteauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut931635Niedenführ Hannahauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910366653703321Africa on the Move2124881UNINA
