When young guys like Mamadou don’t succeed in their dangerous adventure from West Africa to Europe, they’re often not welcome back home. Why is there such pressure on men to succeed and how does this affect women?
In this episode, Khopotso Bodibe continues his conversation with a South African lawyer and rights activist Sharon Ekambaram and Julie Kleinman, a US anthropologist and author of the book “Adventure Capital: Migration and the Making of an African Hub in Paris”.
This show has been produced with Khopotso Bodibe in Johannesburg, South Africa. Naira Davlashyan, Marta Rodríguez-Martinez, Lillo Montalto Monella in Lyon, France, Arwa Barkallah and Mame Peya Diaw in Dakar, Senegal.
