Paperback / softback

Description

A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR: TRAVELChina today is a land of opportunity for African people blocked from commerce with most of Europe and Northern America.

It is also an intersection of racism and prejudice. Noo Saro-Wiwa goes in search of China's 'Black Ghosts', African economic migrants in the People's Republic.

Living in clustered communities, they are key to the trade between the continents.

Her fascinating encounters include a cardiac surgeon, a drug dealer, a visa overstayer and men married to Chinese women who speak English with Nigerian accents.

This is a story of intersecting cultures told with candour and compassion, focusing on the shared humanity between the sojourner and their hosts.
