This book, based on exploratory ethnographic research, analyzes the experiences of African migrants in Thailand.

Thailand has always been a regional migration hub with Africans being the most recent.

The book also includes theoretical contributions to the understanding of precarity and human security, the concept of in/visibility to analyze the challenges African migrants face in Thailand as well as the concept of othering to understand discriminatio
