Summary

The relationships between migration, citizenship and statehood in Southern Africa are conceptually challenged as well as politically vexed. The contributors are a team of Southern African scholars and professionals who bring their considerable expertise to bear on the political, legal and developmental contexts as well as a range of specific topics, including housing, health and brain drain/gain in science and technology. The book addresses migration as a regional phenomenon and, as a result, both its overview and issue-specific chapters offer many fresh insights.
