Africa is on the move. New geopolitical constellations have prompted individuals and groups to
escape war authoritarian regimes environmental crises and poverty. This has led to multiple
migration patterns and complex mobilities of African people within and outside of Africa. This
volume demonstrates that there is no unifying way to conceptualise the multiple nature of
African mobilities. Some authors have conceptualised mobility on a metaphorical level while
others provide analyses along spatial movement. This volume offers a vast portrayal of the
diversity innovation and richness of African mobile experiences through geographical
linguistic and socio-political domains. Providing nuanced and complex analyses offered by
African Studies scholars of various disciplines this book aims to contribute to new insights
into African mobile experiences and to a repositioning of how Africa is represented globally.
