“…There is a tendency to view difference as 'ominous rather than as an opportunity' (Bauman, in Morris, 1998Morris, , p. 1126). Here, a broader interpretation of 'identity politics' which is closer to a conservative nationalism applies and contributes to an exclusive notion of citizenship and belonging (Crush, 2001;Peberdy, 2001). This, undoubtedly, underpins xenophobic attitudes.…”

“…Surveys by the Southern African Migration Project (SAMP) found that white immigrants from Europe and North America are widely viewed as the 'most desirable' (even though it was just by 22% of respondents). White illegal immigrants, for example, European tourists who overstay their entry permits, are not treated or stereotyped in the way that African migrants are (Peberdy, 2001). Handmaker and Parsley (2001) argue that the state's response to immigration is also highly racialised, where black migrants are abused and exploited in a way that white migrants are not.…”

Series editor: Roger Mac Ginty, Professor of Peace and Conflict Studies, University of Manchester, UKThis exciting series provides a space in which to interrogate and challenge much of the conventional wisdom on political violence. Books in the series are at the forefront of research, pushing forward new debate in the field of political violence without rehashing clichés about security, violence and 'terrorism'. Authors from both the critical and orthodox perspectives use the book series to reappraise some of the fundamental questions facing societies on how to deal with and interpret organised violence. Many of the books in the series are comparative, draw on fieldwork, and use insights from a variety of methodologies.

“…There is a significant decline in legal migration vis-à-vis an increase in undocumented migration. This is because it is increasingly difficult to migrate formally to the new democratic South Africa, particularly for other Africans (Crush 1999, Peberdy 2001. Nonetheless, the number of Africans migrating to South Africa has increased.…”

“…Present-day Southern African states can be divided into migrant-sending states (Mozambique, Malawi and Lesotho), migrant-receiving states (South Africa and Namibia) and states that fall into both categories, such as Botswana and Swaziland (Crush 1999, Peberdy 2001). There is a significant decline in legal migration vis-à-vis an increase in undocumented migration.…”

Abstract:Host governments have responded to the migration of Somali refugees throughout Africa in recent decades in different ways. Kenyan policymakers have treated Somalis primarily as a security threat, imposing restrictions on them that especially target this group. In South Africa, where economic and political competition fuel xenophobia, Somalis are part of a larger foreign national population that is seen as having disproportionate economic influence. However, Somali Bantus have been welcomed in Tanzania, which granted them citizenship even as it limited the mobility and activities of other refugees. A comparative analysis suggests that the relative balance among security, economic, political, and normative considerations shapes the extent and scope of host government policies.
