Refugee status and political activities have morphed from mutually constitutive categories in the period of anticolonial struggles to binaries in post-independence Africa. The fluid categorizations of the anticolonial era are in contrast to contemporary categorizations of refugees that preclude political activities and replace them with an apolitical, humanitarian refugee profile. This shift in interpretation of terminologies is in response to postcolonial geopolitics.
