Dear Colleagues:

We are pleased to announce our new book, African Refugees, just released (January 2023) by Indiana University Press. The book details are below and available at the IUP website and on Amazon.

 

Toyin Falola and Olajumoke Yacob-Haliso. African Refugees. Bloomington: Indiana University Press. 2023. xli + 590 pp.

 

 

Description

 

African Refugees is a comprehensive overview of the context, causes, and consequences of refugee lives, discussing issues, policies, and solutions for African refugees around the world. It covers overarching topics such as human rights, policy frameworks, refugee protection, and durable solutions, as well as less-studied topics such as refugee youths, refugee camps, LGBTQ refugees, urban refugees, and refugee women. It also takes on rare but emergent topics such as citizenship and the creativity of African refugees. African Refugees recognizes African agency and contributions in pursuit of solutions for African refugees over time but avoids the pitfalls of the colonial gaze—where refugees are perpetually pathologized and Africa is always the sole cause of its own problems—seeking to complicate these narratives by recognizing African refugee issues within exploitative global, colonial, and neo-colonial systems of power.
