2020 Africana Studies Conference

Migration, Identities, Borders and Globalization

Marquette University, Milwaukee, USA

March 27-28, 2020

 

Migration has been part of the human experience. Historically, the intersection of immigration with race is self-evident. Voluntary and involuntary migrations have shaped global demographics while creating a persistent culture of racism. In the 21st century, however, the nature of migration and the politics of belonging has become more contentious. Debates over immigration have received renewed interest following attempts to overhaul immigration in the West and anti-immigration rhetoric aimed particularly at immigrants from the global south.

This conference examines critical contemporary issues on migration as to how the flows of people have entangled with politics of identity, nationalism, statehood, and ideologies in the age of globalization.

  • Migration and (Dis)Integration
