"From Ghana to Fortress Europe" is a scholarly book that addresses the complex interplay of irregular migration and human rights. It particularly highlights the experiences of semi- and unskilled migrants from Ghana who embark on perilous journeys through the Sahara and across the Mediterranean. Unlike many previous studies that focus on highly skilled migrants, this work offers an in-depth analysis of the social, economic, and political conditions that drive these individuals to migrate. Through qualitative interviews with migrants at various stages of their journey, it paints a comprehensive picture of the challenges and human rights violations associated with irregular migration. The investigation encompasses both violations of economic, social, and cultural rights as well as civil and political rights that migrants experience during their journey. This book is a valuable resource for anyone engaged in social sciences and the complex dynamics of migration.
