Abstract

The phenomenon of African migration and diaspora living in Malaysia is multifaceted, involving various sociopolitical, economic, and cultural dimensions. To understand this complex issue, it is essential to explore several key aspects: the acceptance rate of African migrants, the construction and reconstruction of Malaysian worldviews, and the impacts on sociopolitical fabrics and demographic landscapes. Below, I will provide a theorised analysis supported by recent evidence and data.
