Despite the increasing, albeit sensational, attention irregular migration attracts on both sides of the Mediterranean, little is known about what shapes and influences the lives of these Africans before, during, and after their “migratory projects.” By privileging migrants' narratives and drawing on evidence-based field research from different disciplinary backgrounds, the volume demystifies and dislodges many common assumptions about the human ecology of irregular African migration to Europe, arguably one of the most widely debated, yet least understood, phenomenon of our time.Africa-Europe Group for Interdisciplinary Studies8.AfricansMigrationsBlack peopleAfricaMigrationsAfrican diasporaAfricansForeign countriesSocial conditionsImmigrantsSocial conditionsTravelSocial aspectsMigration, InternalSocial aspectsAfricaAfrica, Sub-SaharanEmigration and immigrationSocial aspectsAfricansMigrations.Black peopleMigrations.African diaspora.AfricansSocial conditions.ImmigrantsSocial conditions.TravelSocial aspects.Migration, InternalSocial aspects305.896Triulzi Alessandro128193McKenzie Robert(Robert Lawrence)1463003MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786735903321Long journeys3672181UNINA
