520 8  Although contemporary migration in and from Africa can be 
       understood as a continuation of earlier forms of 
       interregional and international migration, current 
       processes of migration seem to have taken on a new 
       quality. This volume argues that one of the main reasons 
       for this is the fact that local worlds are increasingly 
       measured against a set of possibilities whose referents 
       are global, not local. Due to this globalization of the 
       personal and societal horizons of possibilities in Africa 
       and elsewhere, in many contexts migration gains an almost 
       inevitable attraction while, at the same time, actual 
       migration becomes increasingly restricted. Based on 
       detailed ethnographic accounts, the contributors to this 
       volume focus on the imaginations, expectations, and 
       motivations that propel the pursuit of migration.--
