Shifting the Focus of Migration Back Home: Perspectives from Southern Africa
No full textLoren B. Landau and Darshan Vigneswaran raise three fundamental critiques about how contemporary migration and development debates are likely to affect sub-Saharan Africa. They suggest that the focus should shift from movements out of Africa to migration, displacement and urbanization within the continent in order to take into account the negative effects of migration on families, conflict and political accountability. They argue that given that the balance of negotiating power rests with Europe and North America, it is unlikely that any future agenda on migration will give priority to African interests.

The End of Migration Studies
No full textThe discipline of Migration Studies should be dismantled. Migration Studies has made major achievements in explaining why people move across borders and how societies and states adapt and respond to the movement and settlement of people. However, the discipline possesses a deeply problematic and irreparable ontology. Its focus on the 'migrant' and 'migration' as objects of study necessarily predispose the discipline to statist and anti-migrant forms of study. Many previous works have diagnosed this problem and posed conceptual and methodological means of resolving them. This paper explains why these solutions have not works. Migration Studies' ontology continues to be reinforced by the disciplinary apparatus of Migration Studies institutions and associations. Hence, the paper calls for the dismantling of these institutions and associations and proposes ways in which research on human mobility, state power and territory might develop in less politically problematic ways
