Description: Trade connections and cultural exchange between Africa and the rest of the global South have existed for centuries. Since the end of the Cold War these connections have expanded and diversified dramatically with emerging economies such as China India and Brazil becoming increasingly important both as sources of trade and as a destination for African migrants. But while these trends have attracted growing scholarly attention there has so far been little appreciation of the sheer breadth and variety of this exchange or of its deeper social impact. This collection brings together a wide array of scholarly perspectives to explore the movement of people commodities and ideas between Africa and the wider global South with rich empirical case studies ranging from Senegalese migrants in Argentina to Lebanese traders in Nigeria. The contributors argue that this exchange represents a form of globalization from below which defies many of the prevailing Western assumptions about migration and development and which can only be understood if we consider the full range and complexity of migrant experiences. Multidisciplinary in scope Mobility between Africa Asia and Latin America is essential reading for students and scholars across the social sciences interested in the interconnected economic and social make - up of the global South.
