Mapping the New African Diaspora in China (eBook, ePUB)

Race and the Cultural Politics of Belonging

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores how knowledge about Africa and blackness is constructed and disseminated in China's rapidly developing market economy, adopting a comparative perspective by examining similarities and differences between the racialization of Africans in China and in Western countries, and attempting to move beyond black-and-white binaries and explore the changing meaning of race and racism in a non-Western context.
