移民已经成为世界各地一个有争议的话题，随之而来的是关于归属感、公民身份、基本人权和尊严的艰难辩论。本章概述了这些辩论的全球范围，并将重点放在非洲的背景上。在一个相互联系日益紧密的世界里，它将围绕调解、移民和仇外心理的辩论推向了前台，具有讽刺意味的是，在这个世界上，作为一名移民就等于成为一个问题。在某些情况下，移徙与疾病、犯罪和破坏社区的媒介混为一谈。当当地人试图清除这些病媒时，他们的反应是仇外心理。本章还介绍了这本书以及构成本卷的不同章节，讨论了复杂非洲环境中的移民、身份和仇外心理等热点问题。
Migration has become a contentious topic around the world, bringing with it difficult debates on belonging, citizenship, basic human rights and dignity. This chapter sketches the global terrain of these debates and zeros in on the African context. It brings to the fore debates surrounding mediation, migration and xenophobia in an increasingly interconnected world where, ironically, being a migrant is equivalent to being a problem. Migration, in some contexts, is conflated with being a vector of disease, crime and the spoiling of neighbourhoods. Xenophobia is the response by locals as they try to cleanse their communities of these vectors. The chapter also introduces the book and the diverse chapters that compose this volume, addressing topical issues in migration, identity and xenophobia in complex African settings.
