Abstract

Mobility and Minorities in Africa is the third volume in Nova Collectanea Africana, which is an edited collection on minorities in Africa endorsed by the Centro di Studi Africani in Sardegna (CSAS). As with the previous volumes, the notion of “minority” has been interpreted broadly in order to cover ethnic, religious, linguistic, sexual, national, geographical, social, cultural, economic, and political minorities in Northern and Sub–Saharan Africa. Although mobility is a subject that embraces many different forms, this book has been divided into three thematic sections focusing on just three specific topics: Internal and International Mobility; Refugees and Internally Displaced People; and Identities and Representations.
