ESCOBAR CRISTIANI, Beatriz  and  VENTURA, María del Rayo. Between the restrictions and the creativity: migrants and human rights in South Africa and Tanzania. Rev. IUS [online]. 2017, vol.11, n.40, pp.51-86. ISSN 1870-2147.

In recent years, migratory movements have been consolidated as a major concern across the world. The official discourse of many countries underlines the value of migrations, but often the presence of migrants generates different forms of rejection and attempts to limit their rights. Migrants have had to develop many strategies to face restrictions and to answer to violations of their rights. This article analyses how these trends have appeared in South Africa and Tanzania. It also provides a comparative study of common experiences of migrants relating to human rights and how they adapt to changing socioeconomic and political contexts in South Africa and Tanzania.

Keywords : Agency; empowerment; human rights; migrants; South Africa; Tanzania.
