Business and Pleasure: Afro-Chinese Marriages (2/2)

Hosts Winslow Robertson and Dr. Nkemjika Kalu continue their conversation with Jenni Marsh  who just wrote a brilliant article at South China Morning Post's Post Magazine: Afro-Chinese marriages boom in Guangzhou: but will it be 'til death do us part'? We ask about what struck her most about the relationships encountered, what will these relationships mean for China's conception of race, and more.

Business and Pleasure: Afro-Chinese Marriages (1/2)

As more Africans set up shop in Guangzhou, there has been a corresponding increase in Afro-Chinese marriages. Hosts Winslow Robertson and Dr. Nkemjika Kalu talked to Jenni Marsh, who just wrote a brilliant article at South China Morning Post's Post Magazine on that very topic: Afro-Chinese marriages boom in Guangzhou: but will it be 'til death do us part'? Marsh is Assistant Editor of Post Magazine at South China Morning Post in Hong Kong. She is currently researching the African diaspora in Guangzhou, with a grant from the University of Witwatersrand's China-Africa Reporting Project.

SADC: Hope to See You Thursday!

Sino-Africa DC   Hope to see you Thursday! Greetings Colleagues, I hope the confusing weather has not dissuaded you from coming to the events we have been advertising! It appears our own next event will be in a quieter location with good metro access, but besides that, nothing has been decided (Maybe a public debate?). The newsletter is, as always, being tweaked, and I have have highlighted our member's contributions to Sino-Africa issues (or interesting event reviews) in the bar on the right, and then grouping anything that might be of interest to us at the bottom. I plan on attending both the DC Africa Tweetup and the book presentation by Prof. Horace Campbell.
