African Exodus places the emphasis firmly on the causes of the refugee crisis, which are to be found not least in Europe itself, and charts ways in which we might deal with it effectively in the long term.
An urgent analysis of the causes of migration from across the African continent, considering the most constructive methods for combating corrupt regimes, and for amending the EU to be less complicit in the chain of events that necessitates emigration.
"A powerful book encapsulating first-hand experience with bold statistics giving testimony to the claim that we are facing the greatest refugee crisis of our age."
- Victoria Schofield
"Amid the hysteria and distortions that surround immigration, in African Exodus Asfa-Wossen Asserate presents a sober and authoritative account of migration from Africa-and manages, with some verve, to unearth central and crucial insights. This book, really, is about the universal human desire to be free"
- Alex Perry author of The Rift: A New Africa Breaks Free
"A bitter and clear portrait of how Europe, instead of fighting the causes of immigration, is fighting the refugees themselves."
- Christiane Grefe, Die Ziet
"Asserate's short book is a plea for joined-up thinking on migration."
- Financial Times
