African Exodus - Mass Migration and the Future of Europe

Prinz Asfa-Wossen Asserate, einer der besten Kenner des afrikanischen Kontinents, schildert die Ursachen der Massenflucht aus Afrika und appelliert an die europäischen Staaten, ihre Politik gegenüber dem Nachbarkontinent grundlegend zu ändern. Andernfalls werden bald nicht Tausende, sondern Millionen von Menschen auf der Flucht sein. Und dann wird diese größte Herausforderung Europas im 21. Jahrhundert in einer Katastrophe enden - für Afrika und Europa.

Summary

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.

Additional text

“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
