520 Many African migrants residing abroad nurture a hope to
one day return, at least temporarily, to their home
country. In the wake of economic crises in the developed
world, alongside rapid economic growth in parts of Africa,
the impetus to 'return' is likely to increase. Such
returnees are often portrayed as agents of development,
bringing with them capital, knowledge and skills as well
as connections and experience gained abroad. Yet, the
reality is altogether more complex. In this much-needed
volume, based on extensive original fieldwork, the authors
reveal that there is all too often a gaping divide between
abstract policy assumptions and migrants' actual
practices. In contrast to the prevailing optimism of
policies on migration and development, Africa's return
migrants demonstrates that the capital obtained abroad is
not always advantageous and that it can even hamper
successful entrepreneurship and other forms of economic,
political and social engagement.
