Reviews

“Without the world in general and Africa in particular exorcising the demon of xenophobia, humanity will never know real peace and enjoy true happiness. Interrogating Xenophobia and Nativism in Twenty-First Century Africa, exploiting the superb intellectual and political education and experience of the contributors, lays a powerful foundation for systematically engaging with the spectre of xenophobia especially in Africa. Although the focus is largely on xenophobia and South Africa, the book solidly anchors the discussion in Africa, Afro-phobia, and the elusive dream of Pan-Africanism. It is a must-read for every person willing to make their contribution to a world free of xenophobia and its deadly consequences. The book is one that every college and university, especially in Africa, must use particularly for undergraduate exploratory studies of the subjects of xenophobia, Afro-phobia, and Pan-Africanism. Skilfully edited, very readable, and well arranged, the contributors offer a wonderful panoramic view of the topics covered to enable both a general reader and an academic user to traverse the book as they wish.” -- Sishuwa Sishuwa, University of Zambia ""Emmanuel Matambo has assembled a diverse Pan-African team of scholars to tackle one of Africa’s most contemporary scourges – xenophobia – with a particular focus on South Africa. This book deserves to be widely read by scholars, policymakers, and civil society activists across Africa and beyond.” -- Adekeye Adebajo, University of Johannesburg
