Interrogating Xenophobia and Nativism in Twenty-First-Century Africa interrogates xenophobia and nativism in Africa and how they hamper the realisation of Pan-Africanism. The contributors examine migration in Africa, immigration policies and politics, and the social impacts and history of xenophobia and nativism in African life and culture. Through their analyses, the contributors explore how xenophobia and nativism have impacted the Pan-Africanism movement. The book also offers suggestions for reducing xenophobia and nativism in Africa, including bettering immigration policies and creating socioeconomic structures that would enrich the public and help prevent the pervasive belief that immigrants usurp limited opportunities for the poor in the countries they immigrate to.

“Without the world in general and Africa in particular exorcising the demon of xenophobia, humanity will never know real peace and enjoy true happiness. Interrogating Xenophobia and Nativism in Twenty-First Century Africa, exploiting the superb intellectual and political education and experience of the contributors, lays a powerful foundation for systematically engaging with the spectre of xenophobia especially in Africa. Although the focus is largely on xenophobia and South Africa, the book solidly anchors the discussion in Africa, Afro-phobia, and the elusive dream of Pan-Africanism. It is a must-read for every person willing to make their contribution to a world free of xenophobia and its deadly consequences. The book is one that every college and university, especially in Africa, must use particularly for undergraduate exploratory studies of the subjects of xenophobia, Afro-phobia, and Pan-Africanism. Skilfully edited, very readable, and well arranged, the contributors offer a wonderful panoramic view of the topics covered to enable both a general reader and an academic user to traverse the book as they wish.”
