Abstract

"Analysing the work of Ethiopian-Somali smugglers and return-migrant investors, this study explores the relationship between cities and borders amid Africa's rapid urbanization. Daniel Thompson describes how African city-dwellers' lives are shaped by global border security regimes, and how they contest these borders in daily urban life"
