Abstract

AbstractWhile Africa is commonly represented as a continent of exodus, the vast majority of African migration in Africa occurs within the continent. Historically, colonialism shaped movements within the African continent tremendously, through inequalities in development efforts, infrastructural imbalances, and deliberate forced movements. In recent times efforts by African states to enhance regional integration, play important roles in facilitating intra-African movements. This chapter focuses on changing patterns and dynamics of South–South migration in Africa by analysing historical and geographical patterns of migration within and between the regions of Africa.
