Abstract

The edited volume entitled, ‘Roads to Prosperity: People en Route to Socio-Cultural and Economic Transformations’, is the product of a collaborative research project undertaken at the African Studies Centre at Leiden University in 2013 and 2014. The project adopts a multidisciplinary approach to study the trajectories and social construct of peoples’ transience. It focuses on the socio-economic, cultural and historical perspectives and the changing dynamics of migration in a globalising world.

Migration has been a very critical global issue in history, space and time. Issues on societal transformation, internal and international migration have formed the major canon of discussion across the humanities in recent times. This has become of immense importance cross-continentally, particularly in Africa which is recounted as a space for transit and transference of legal and illegal migrants globally. The edited volume recounts the histories, emergence and consequent societal changes in specific parts of Africa that have become spaces for transit and disembarkation of African migrants in search for better socio-economic opportunities.
