从加纳北方迁移到沿海首都阿克拉寻找工作的女搬运工头(“kayayei”)发现自己处于充满各种等级和权力关系的社会结构和空间秩序中,这些关系限制了新来者的创业选择。然而,随着中国企业家最近进入阿克拉市场的社会竞技场,这些权力关系和把关机制开始发生变化。在这篇文章中,我们分析了女性头搬运工如何看待和适当的机会,出现的结果,中国人被视为他们自己和其他人作为外人到加纳社会。中国商人无意中让挑夫将其实际和象征性的权利主张扩展到他们以前被排除在外的空间领域,从而促进了挑夫在加纳主要城市市场中心的场所和空间社会建设中的作用扩大。因此,它们正在改变这些头部负荷携带者与其环境之间的日常互动模式。
Migrating from northern Ghana to the coastal capital Accra in search of work, female head porters (‘kayayei’) find themselves in social structures and spatial orders that are imbued with various relations of seniority and power that constrain newcomers' entrepreneurial options. Yet, with the recent arrival of Chinese entrepreneurs in the social arena of Accra's marketplace, these power relations and gate-keeping mechanisms have begun to change. In this article, we analyse how female head porters perceive and appropriate the opportunities that arise as a result of the Chinese being seen by both they themselves and others as outsiders to Ghanaian society. By unintentionally enabling head-load carriers to extend their actual and symbolic claims to spatial realms that they were previously excluded from, the Chinese traders are facilitating head porters' expanded role within the social construction of place and space in Ghana's main urban market centre. They are therefore altering the patterns of everyday interactions between these head-load carriers and their environment.
