Summary: "The story of humankind is about the search for hospitable places to call home. Migration is historically a part of this story. People have left one place for the other, based on challenges in the place of origin, and perceived attractions in the desired destinations. In emergency migrations, the character of the African refugee camp at the end of the twentieth Century has gradually transformed into that of an intermediate stage in incomplete migrations. In this volume, Muluka places the case of South Sudanese refugees in Kenya's Kakuma Refugee Camp, over a three-decade period at the centre of an appreciation of the changing nature of African searches for new homes in the Global North, and how these searches are contributing to stagnated refugee situations on the continent." --Publisher's description.
