Inhaltsangabe

African Diasporas across the globe have taken it as a responsibility to do something for the continent they have left physically but not emotionally. As transnational citizens their contributions and public engagement in their country of birth is seen through the lens of influence, expertise and transnational networks as well as through their capacity to exert force indirectly through financial resources.The emotional attachment founded in the African Ubuntu Philosophy- ‘oneness to humanity’; that we realize ourselves by sharing ourselves with others, and caring for those around us, prompts them to feel some obligations and commitments across borders, which allows for feelings of multiple belongings enabling an individual or an agency to participate and contribute towards a just and peaceful world. In this book, the author examines how integration experiences of Kenyan migrants in Norway impact on their public participation in both Kenya and Norway. These Kenyans are in the perspectives of Rawls and Habermas, stakeholders in all public decision making processes and therefore need to be actively involved. For Appiah, they are world citizens with obligations across borders.
