--- Cancelled --- Dr. John Karugia: Africans in China: Memory, Identity and Social Relations

17. July 2014
Konfuzius-Institut Frankfurt, Dantestraße 9

--- Cancelled ---

Thousands of Africans are involved in all manner of activities from traders, teachers to university students in Chinese cities and villages. While their population has increased exponentially, African presence in China is not a new phenomenon. This presentation will discuss memories of journeys made by Africans to China across the Indian Ocean from the 1950s to the present. Additionally, contemporary social relations amongst Chinese and African migrants in China will be analyzed. Focus will be placed on how issues related to identity manifest themselves in these new sociocultural and economic and sometimes cosmopolitan spaces as adaptation and integration take shape.

 

Expense: € 5,-- / € 3,--

There will be a reception after the lecture
