Description
This fascinating book seeks to remind us that everything on this wonderful planet moves around all the time including people, they always have and they always wiill. Any attempt to stop them will always end in failure. In which case we need to consider how it is that with the rise of the nation state, and nationalism it has been assumed that this is the end of MIgration. What a mistake. It is actually only just the begining. All the climate science and climate literature shows that climate is making marginal areas and marginal land less usable. It is accelerating desertification and reducing the overall land areas as sea level continues to rise significantly. Health effects are being felt already all over Africa with experts advising that is no longer extremely rare diseases but heart attacks due to hours of unbearable heat all day and all night that is making warmer countries too hot to endure. Recently we have experienced the largest migration in history, namely that of 22 million people internally in CHhna from rural areas to urban zones and also as a result of the flooding of the Three Gorges Dam.The UNHCR suggests that 65 million people are in mobility or refugees this year alone, but what do such enormous numbers really mean?
The huge impact of the Syrian tragedy which affects all of us every day is believed, by scientists, to have been sparked off by a desertification hotspot during a 4 year drought, just before the confliect began!Every person on the planet who does not currently live in Africa is the descendant of someone or several generation who migrated at least once. Our families have all moved around a great deal.Human suffering from forced migration continues down the generations and much of what we think of as youthful angst is in fact second or third generation migration legacy which has not be adequately addressed by means of integration or education or both.The scars of the second World War and other confilects have not even begun to heal, but already more and more people are on the move again. Tihis book provides the reader with unedited voices from all over the world who are begining to respond and chart the changes taking place together with experts show how to understand them and make sense of them.
