| Abstract: | This chapter examines how the EU’s and Schengen countries’ security measures and related bordering practices are experienced by sub-Saharan African refugees, migrants and returnees in various stages of the displacement, on state borders as well as before and after crossing them. Drawing on research material gathered through multi-sited fieldwork in Kenya, Ethiopia, Cyprus, Italy and Finland the chapter elaborates how European securitizing response to migration does not stop migratory movements, but rather causes insecurity and suffering to migrants and leads to the EU compromising its self-proclaimed values. |
| Description: | This book challenges the common European notions about African migration to Europe and offers a holistic understanding of the current situation in Africa. It advocates a need to rethink Africa-Europe relations and view migration and borders as a resource rather than sources of a crisis. This book constitutes a valuable resource for research scholars and students of Border Studies, Migration Studies, Conflict and Security Studies, and Development Studies seeking specialisation in these areas. Written in an accessible style, it will also appeal to a more general public interested in gaining a fuller perspective on the African reality. |
