Class Formations and Inequality Structures in Contemporary African Migration

Evidence from Ghana

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Using evidence from Ghana, this book argues that power and class-based structural relationships are significant components in understanding how migratory diasporas shape and are shaped in turn by social class and inequality. This necessitates changes in national policies to address the widening gap of inequality between rich and poor.
