| סיכום: | This text outlines anthropological and ethnographic insights into African refugee routes. By describing the anthropology of migration, escape, and survival in Sub- Saharan Africa, I highlight the enduring presence of suffering and violence in the Sahel region and Central Africa, as well as the persistent myths surrounding journeys to Europe. I first refer to Maciej Ząbek’s work, which sketches a panorama of refugee routes in Africa, then I turn to Sebastien Bachelet’s study of the community of desperation and migrants overcoming the fences surrounding Spanish enclaves in Morocco. I also reference Amade M’charek’s work on African migrants crossing and “burning” Europe’s borders. In conclusion, I reflect on the paradoxical relevance of the ethnographic present in describing such experiences. |
