A feature of this immigration flow has been the number of immigrants and asylum seekers from francophone Africa.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately this has not been welcomed by a large part of the local population and xenophobia has become an increasingly serious issue. Often designated as &#8216;illegal&#8217; immigrants, an African person who cannot speak an indigenous language is clearly foreign, a threat and thus a potential target for abuse. Such stereotyping helps create and reinforce a xenophobic climate.<\/p>\n<p>The papers in this book explore and attempt to understand the nature of the phenomenon.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Alan Morris<\/strong>&#8216;s study of inner-city transition in Johannesburg entitled Bleakness and Light: Inner-City Transition in Hillbrow, Johannesburg was published by the University of the Witwatersrand Press in 1999.
