| Summary: | In recent years, the international community and individual States have increased their focus on issues of immigration. Massive displacements of populations due to natural disasters and conflict often receive major coverage in the media, but it is the more steady and significant flows of migrants drawn by the prospect of improved economic, political, and social conditions that have recently generated the most concerted attention and with it, paradigms for understanding the phenomenon. International migration is a complex subject, the more so since no country is exempt from its effects. Indeed, virtually every country is both a country of origin and a country of destination for migrants. Migration is also complex because it can be repetitive in the life of an individual. It is also complex, because of the lamentable dearth of data on the movement of migrants. This paper will in the first instance, highlight migration as a phenomenon in general. It will then try to locate within it; the role Muslim migration has played in aiding the Islamization of sub-Saharan Africa. The article will confine itself to the post-modern era. |
