Nigerian Migration In Central Durban (Paperback)

In recent years there has been a surge in interest regarding the impact of migration and especially that of remittances that migrants send home to help their families or for the development in their communities of origin. This book is based on the study conducted among 50 nigerians living in Durban for a period of two and half years from 2007 to mid 2009. The study produced insight into the highly heterogeneous impact of remittances and the dynamics of Nigerian migrants' living condition in South Africa. It also discusses the impact of remittances on Nigerian families, communities and the role that voluntary associations play in the migrants' life both in Durban and in the migratory process.
