The Voices of Working Children on the Trade-Offs from Working in Fisheries on the Volta Lake, Ghana
Effects of information about irregular migration on transit community attitudes towards migrants
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…
Returns from the South
The sedentary bias that characterizes discourses on migrations from and within the Global South has failed to inform a consistent exploration of international migration from and among global southern countries as normal, desirable and impactful to migrants and their social networks at different spatial levels. Migration‐development nexus analyses are predominantly framed around Global South‐Global North migration episodes whereby cash and social …
Co-creation of transnational livelihoods through 'door-to- door' shipping operations along the Ghana-UK migration corridor
Transnational approaches have led to conceptualisations of migration as a phenomenon that is embedded within globalisation processes. Overwhelmingly, emphasis is placed on the transnational connections migrants maintain with their relatives. Technological advancements have facilitated sustained communication, remittance transfers and return visits between migrants and their relatives. However, the role of shipping companies, as transnational acto…
Citizenship, Belonging and Crisis-Induced Returns of Ghanaian Migrants from Cote d’Ivoire
The socio-economic embeddedness of ECOWAS foreign nationals and migrants in Côte d’Ivoire has been amply described. Despite previous episodes of political violence and the somewhat recent anti-immigrant policies, Côte d’Ivoire has served and will continue to serve as a haven for foreign-born populations of ECOWAS nationals and Ivorian-born descendants of foreigners. This paper draws on the notion of citizenship and belonging, and qualitative data…
Door‐to‐door’
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…
They'd beat us with whatever is available to them’
Generic accounts of pervasive cases of exploitation and abuse against migrant domestic workers in the Middle East exist in the extant literature. However, very little is known about the breadth, depth and gendered nature of abuses experienced by female migrants from especially the sub‐Saharan African region. Abuses of the rights of sub‐Saharan Africans are under‐represented and under‐theorised. This paper interrogates the question what is the nat…
The Ecowas Free Movement Protocol and Diversity of Experiences of Different Categories of Migrants
While studies have drawn attention to the operationalization, and implementation challenges associated with the ECOWAS free movement protocol, our understanding of how different categories of migrants experience the protocol is far more limited. Drawing on data from interviews conducted with 23 ECOWAS migrants living or travelling to Ghana, immigration officials and a trade union representative, this paper examines the diversity of experiences of…
Migrants in Countries in Crisis
Using the experiences of Ghanaian and Nigerian migrants who were implicated in the 2011 Libyan crisis as a case study, this paper highlights the importance of examining micro-level factors in explaining migration decision-making processes. It therefore challenges the uncritical use of macro-level factors as exogenous †̃root causes of migration especially in developing country contexts. Adopting mainly qualitative approaches among seventy-five key…
The Quagmire of Return and Reintegration
The institutional aspect of return migration has received little attention in the theoretical and empirical literature on return migration. This research fills the apparent lacuna by unearthing institutional challenges to multi‐stakeholder coordination, at different spatial levels in crisis situations and negative effects on reintegration of forcibly returned migrants. We use the evacuation of Ghanaian migrants from Libya who occupied very low so…
Please, thank you and sorry - brokering migration and constructing identities for domestic work in Ghana
Drawing on interviews with migrant domestic workers and brokers in Accra-Tema, the capital city of Ghana, this paper throws light on the everyday practices of brokers in producing ideal workers for urban middle class and expatriate families as well as overseas employment. The authors map the different kinds of brokers who are involved in the selection and placement of domestic workers and show how they filter and represent workers to potential em…
The Role of Trust and Migrant Investments in Diaspora Homeland Development Relations
Research into the role of diaspora communities in origin countriesâ€TM development is a growing phenomenon. However, there is little understanding of the role of trust in mediating transnational relationships between migrants and recipients of remittances (non-migrants, members of migrant households and community leaders). Using a case study methodology, mixed methods and a comparative approach – in-depth interviews with 40 key informants (20 in …
London the Leveller
In Britain, there is much concern in policy and public discourse about immigrant integration and social cohesion. But how do immigrants themselves perceive the process of settlement in the UK? This question is examined through exploration of the work strategies developed by Ghanaian immigrants in London in their quest to live a decent life. We explore three issues: how Ghanaians negotiate relations of power in developing viable work strategies in…
