Destination Africa

On the occasion of the international conference ‘Destination Africa’, organized by the ASCL’s and AEGIS collaborative research group ‘Africa in the World’ in Leiden on 22 and 23 March 2018, the ASCL Library has compiled a web dossier on this theme. The dossier starts with an introduction to the subject by ASCL researcher Mayke Kaag. It consists of selected items from the ASCL Library Catalogue, published in the last ten years. The selection has been extended with online sources available through the UBL Catalogue, and a few open access sources. Titles link to the corresponding record in the online catalogue, which provides additional details and abstracts, where available.

Introduction

In an era of rising anxiety in Europe over African immigration, fueled by media images and politicians talking of a ‘tsunami’ of migrants from Africa ‘invading’ Europe, chasing ‘our’ wealth and challenging ‘our’ values, it seems worthwhile to reverse the perspective and to consider current movements towards Africa and Africa as a centre of global connectivity. Examples abound: Western and Asian companies increasingly invest in Africa to capture one of the world’s largest unsaturated markets in consumer goods and services; hundreds of thousands of Chinese migrants have settled in Africa; the Arab states, Turkey and Malaysia are heavily investing in Islamic education in the continent, while Evangelical Churches from the Americas also see Africa as an important missionary ground; Brazilian agricultural schemes are implanted in Mozambique; Indian and Korean academics lead new Ethiopian universities, and the highly prized safari tourism in Tanzania or Botswana has reached new heights, thanks to an influx of new upper-class clients from Asia and the Arab countries, among others. In addition, the migration of young African professionals returning to their ‘home’ countries, investments in African land markets by African migrants, and intra-African investment by African multinationals are booming. It is true that the wave of ‘Afro-Optimism’ of the last decade has suffered severe setbacks in recent years. One of the factors is the obvious mass migration of young Africans, who frequently originate not from failed states and civil war regions, but from countries like Ghana or Senegal, which are considered internationally as top-performing and democratic countries. Furthermore, the economic and political turmoil in South Africa, the state collapse in South Sudan, and the reappearance of pictures of mass starvation of African children have darkened the picture. An increasing number of Africans and non-Africans, however, consider Africa as the place to be and stay.

The aim of the ‘Destination Africa’ conference (Leiden, 22 and 23 March 2018) is to further explore this idea of contemporary Africa as a global meeting point. Important questions include the ways in which people in Africa perceive this new influx and how they navigate, negotiate, engage, and possibly struggle to strike a balance between their own interests and those of the ‘newcomers’, including their evaluation of questions concerning integration, and the distribution of profits and resources. The conference also aims to shed greater light on the motivations, interests, negotiation strategies and navigating practices of those who see Africa as a destination. Finally, it is important to put these current global encounters on African soil in a historical perspective.

For this webdossier, we have compiled an overview of bibliographical and web resources treating diverse aspects of the various current movements towards Africa. In the following, they will be presented under the following headings:

• Political and economic engagements
• Humanitarianism and development
• Social and cultural encounters
• Diasporic engagements and returnees

The start of Africa’s recent economic rise coinciding with the growing interest in the continent of China and other emerging global players, particularly from the mid-2000s boosted the production of academic and policy studies that tried to describe and make sense of these new developments. In the beginning, they mainly focused on the economic and political aspects (including questions of development) of these new global actors’ engagements with Africa. It was only later that more local, ethnographic studies started to appear that not so much focused on the economic and political, but started to investigate the social and cultural aspects of encounters on African soil and in which African perceptions got a more prominent place. Examples include relationships between Chinese and Indian entrepreneurs and their African employees and clients. Tourism and education are other noticeable fields of social and cultural (non-)encounters.

The steadily growing corpus of literature focusing on engagements of the African diaspora, and particularly of those returning to Africa, with the economic and political changes in their countries of origin deserves specific attention. While diaspora agents and returning migrants are heralded as development actors par excellence in many policy documents, studies like Africa’s return migrants also show the challenges involved for returnees to integrate and make things work for them and for their communities. Publications on the Horn of Africa and on Somalia in particular are overrepresented in this category and mainly focus on political issues, while West-Africa’s booming economies (Nigeria and Ghana) provide another accent. In this latter category, particularly studies on the role of young  diasporic professionals returning to their countries of origin stand out as an important addition to the literature. Sadder stories are provided by studies and films focusing on deportees to Africa who did not chose this destination for themselves at this point in their lives.

Historical studies remain crucial for understanding current developments and aspects of change and continuity in Africa’s global positioning and relationships with the rest of the world. These include studies on the precolonial and colonial eras, but also longue durée studies like Bayart’s seminal work and studies focusing on contemporary history, such as Monson’s work on the Tazara Railway, shedding light on the Cold War period.
