Migration and the Constant Search for Self-Improvement in Africa
Globally, narratives about the nexus between migration and development have gained prominence among academics, policymakers, development practitioners, as well as social partners. However, the historical and contextual factors that have shaped the patterns of migration flows within and from the African continent have been poorly conceptualized and theorized. The components of migration that have the propensity to lead to self-improvement and deve…
Gaps and Challenges in the Implementation of the International, Sub-regional and National Mechanisms for Cooperation and Referral of Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Victims
Trafficking in Persons (TIP) is globally widespread. On the African continent, however, it is prevalent in West and Central Africa. Human traffickers often take advantage of the lax security conditions to conduct and perpetuate human trafficking. In recent times, there have been attempts to end TIP by implementing international, sub-regional and national mechanisms for cooperation and referral of TIP victims. These efforts are, however, fraught w…

This paper draws on interviews with Africans of binational parental heritage to expand the literature on identity formation in two ways.

We argue in this paper that in addition to state constricture, closeness of family ties is yet another factor that shapes the primary iden…

The transnational focus in migration studies since the turn of the 20th century has discussed migrants and their migration activities as spanning both origin and destination countries. Migrants' lives and their activities in both origin and destination countries have also been discussed in‐depth in several studies. However, businesses that facilitate in‐kind transnational links migrants maintain with their relatives and friends back home have rec…
Matched Sampling Methodology Reconsidered
Matched sampling methodology (MSM) has been used in remittance studies to understand remittance transfers. However, a detailed examination of the role of trust as a central element in producing reliable and valid research conclusions when a matched sample methodology is used has been missing in the literature. This paper fills this lacuna by arguing that cultivating trust in matched sampling research on remittance transfers, a sensitive subject m…
