África en movimiento. Migraciones internas y externas

Casa África has incorporated a new title into its Essay Collection, an editorial line that has been created to give visibility to the knowledge of African thinkers, writers and theorists as well as Africanists, so as to support the study and research on matters that deal with the continent's development and potential from a point of view that is far away from stereotypes with which we have usually tackled African reality.

It deals with the work Africa in movement. Internal and external migrations, coordinated by Professor Mbuyi Kabunda Badi and that has texts by Godwin O. Ikwuyatum, Germain Ngoie Tshibambe, Macharia Munene, Juvénal Bazilashe Balegamire, Susana Moreno Maestro, Mercedes Jabardo Velasco, John O. Oucho and Sami Naïr.

Along these lines, Casa África annually awards the Essay Prizes, to encourage the investigation and dissemination of knowledge on African issues.

Casa África's Essay and Thinking Collection published in collaboration with the  Editorial Los libros de la Catarata, can be obtained in bookshops and department stores all over Spain as well as on its website.

This new work,  which has been incorporated into the collection asks itself if migrations are a blessing or a curse for the African continent, as in the analysis of international migratory flows we usually go on about the South-North, vertical or intercontinental migrations, ignoring the intra-continental or horizontal ones, which are those that register the greatest displacements in the world and that are produced among the different regions of the South and among countries on the same continent. In this way we lose sight of the fact that populations in developing countries often emigrate within a same country (rural exodus) or to adjacent countries, which are nearly as poor as their countries of origin.

Inter-African migrations have about 40 million internal, political, economic and economic migrants and beat the record for forced migrations or for people who flee due to political persecution, violation of human rights or armed conflicts. The work analyses the characteristics of the internal and external migrations, highlighting the positive and negative aspects for Africa and Europe, with the aim of ending the ethnocentric conception of development, whose export has not been able to retain Africans in their native lands, to be able to take into account their needs and aspirations of human development and their needs for survival and internal stability.

Mbuyi Kabunda Badi, native from the Republic of Congo and coordinator of the work, is a specialist professor in the problems of regional integration, development, gender, human rights and conflicts in Africa.

He has a degree in Political Science from the University of Congo. Currently he is a professor and member of the International Institute for Human Rights in Strasbourg and for the Doctorate of International Relations and African Studies at the Autonomous University of Madrid. He has been a professor for International Relations and head of Department of International Relations at the University of Lubumbashi, professor of the same subject at the Autonomous University of Madrid and in Basle, professor at the Pedro Arrupe Institute of Human Rights at the University of Deusto and for the European master for Human Rights and Democratisation in Venice.

Ex president of the NGO Sodepaz (Solidarity for Development and Peace) with its headquarters in Madrid, he has published about a hundred articles in specialist journals and in collective works on the problems of regional integration, development, gender, human rights and conflicts in Africa. Among his published books, we should  highlight "Las ideologías unitaristas y desarrollistas en África", "El nuevo conflicto del Congo". "Dimensión, internacionalización y claves" and "Los derechos humanos en África." He has also been the coordinator for "África subsahariana ante el nuevo milenio" (2002), editor of "Etnias, estado y poder en África" (2005) and co-author of  "Mitos y realidades en África y Africaníssimo", whose  publication was supported by Casa África.
