South-South Migrations and the Law from Below

Case Studies on China and Nigeria

Oreva Olakpe

This book explores the experiences of people in the Global South as they encounter the impact of international law, looking specifically at approaches to international migrations and the law. The case study approach, drawn from the experiences of undocumented and displaced migrants in China and Nigeria, shows how informal justice systems not only exist but are upheld. With an innovative analysis drawing both on intersectionality and Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL), it moves away from the classic international versus regional and domestic law approach to reveal the experience of the Third World in relation to the law.

Oreva Olakpe is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow, CERC Migration and Integration, at Toronto Metropolitan University, Canada.
