Résumé
No Place Like Home: Xenophobia and Belonging in South AfricaBy Sogo Agunbiade "Until we make peace with the stranger, we will never be at peace with ourselves."South Africa, once hailed as the Rainbow Nation, now struggles with an uncomfortable truth: xenophobia is not an exception-it is a recurring feature of life for many migrants and refugees. From the 2008 pogroms to the 2019 riots, this powerful book confronts the rise of anti-immigrant sentiment in a country still healing from apartheid, and explores the deeper crisis of identity, nationalism, and belonging.
Told through the voices of migrants, activists, ordinary South Africans, and public officials, No Place Like Home traces the everyday and institutional violence faced by African foreigners-how they are scapegoated for economic failure, dehumanized in media, and made invisible by the very institutions meant to protect them. This book dives into: The economic myths fueling resentment The role of state policies and political rhetoric Gendered violence and the specific vulnerabilities of migrant women The psychological and emotional toll of being labeled "foreign" on your own continent Everyday acts of resistance, solidarity, and hope This is more than a story about South Africa.
It is a mirror to a global crisis-from Brexit Britain to the U. S.-Mexico border-where fear trumps fact, and belonging is policed by suspicion. No Place Like Home is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the human cost of nationalism, and the fragile threads that hold diverse societies together. It challenges us to imagine a different kind of home-one built not on exclusion and fear, but on shared humanity.
