Abstract	"International Migrations have become a central topic in the Humanities in the last years. Understanding migration requires a closer look at the migratory phenomena and the continuities within the societies involved in the migration process. This volume intends to overcome simplistic views on migration and the shortcomings of a push and pull-factor analysis. Instead, the perspective of the migrants themselves orients the approach of 'cultures of migration'. In this view, migration becomes a complex issue, and motives and acceptance of migration appear to be a matter of negotiations, in the migrants' societies of origin and in the holt societies as well. The present volume brings together a number of essays exploring the cultures of migration in various contexts. It is organised in three sections, dealing with 'Migrations as Encounters', 'Migration as Challenge', and 'Transcontinental Migrants'. Ten contributions, each based on original fieldwork in various parts of Africa, examine the validity of the concept of 'cultures of migration', as explained in the introduction." (author's abstract).
