Book Description

The provided text discusses the aspirations of many African migrants living abroad who hold a desire to return, even if temporarily, to their home countries. It notes that economic crises in developed nations, coupled with rapid economic growth in certain parts of Africa, may amplify the motivation for such returns. The individuals returning are often characterized as agents of development, seen as bringing valuable assets like capital, knowledge, skills, connections, and experiences acquired abroad.
This phenomenon of return migration is noteworthy for its potential impact on the development of the home countries, as it suggests a flow of resources and expertise from the diaspora back to the regions of origin.
