This book’s significance is in its African-centred border crossing overt and covert forces working against genders and sexualities, reinforcing endemic gender and sexual based complexities. Pragmatically, sexualities and genders in Africa remain contested and an area of power and control contestations in both the private and public spheres. Gender based violence and femicide (GBVF), in particular, continue to escalate, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Such GBVF, at most, affects young women, migrants, LGBTIQIA+ people, sex workers, informal street traders, and widows, amongst others. This is happening at a time when the feminist and women’s movements in Africa are experiencing fragmentations and factions that pull and push organising to the margins of prejudice internally, thereby exacerbating an act of ‘subordinated inclusion’. In this context, the term ‘subordinated inclusion’ connotes another form of complexity where the ‘subaltern’ has been brought inside a room as an act of inclusion yet systemically subordinated through structure and obedience, thereby compromising agency. This complexity occurs in private and public domains, where a continuum of contestations between structure and agency is sustained. Consequently, power struggles emerge and proliferate unabated into gendered and sexualised complexities, including relations of state, coloniality, apartheid, prejudice, marginalization, capitalism and democracy. This book thus strives to surface these contestations and complexities and how they continue to thrive in an era that seeks another way possible, a way out, a jump off, a manner of dealing and an exit from the status quo.

The book project strives to establish and interpret the experiences and realities of African migration using African epistemology and philosophy. The significance of this book is triggered by an observation that seeks to propound the Eurocentric paradigm as not being the only dominating, acceptable, or legitimate approach to knowledge in explaining the evolution and dynamics of African migration. Africans have a long history of migration, both involuntary and voluntary. Contemporary African migrants have experienced three (3) types of migration, namely labour migration, forced migration or refugee movement, and skilled professional migration. These types of migration take place within the continent and between Africa and other continents. The book seeks to explore and cover a wide array of issues experienced by contemporary African migrants. This includes, but is not limited to, what and who a contemporary African migrant is; factors that influence contemporary African migration; the role and impact of regional institutions and other transnational entities on contemporary African migration; the challenges of contemporary African migrants; the impact of contemporary African migrants in national, regional, international politics and economy; the role of a contemporary African migrant on regional integration.

This book examines the nature of conflict in Africa vis-à-vis the African Union (AU) peace and security architecture in Africa. It focuses on the intense campaign ‘Silencing the Guns by 2020’ since 2013, one of the flagship projects of Agenda 2063 to achieve a conflict-free continent by AU. It analyses various causes of conflict in Africa using case studies to pursue the causality and dynamics of these conflicts, which often point to the intersectionality of historical legacies of colonialism and neo-colonialism. It further examines the interplay of factors such as resource curse, resource exploitation, election-induced violence, political violence, incessant and interminable challenges of social justice, oppression, contemporary governance, and leadership dynamics. It also focuses on the application and integration of conflict and gender for analytical reflection. In the quest for a “Peaceful and secure Africa”, this book examines the different mechanisms to prevent, manage, and resolve conflicts on the continent, and the challenges thereof. It probes and investigates by asking critical questions about continental conflict dynamics and peace architectures which warrants in-depth inquiry and interrogation.
