摘要20世纪90年代末和21世纪初,为应对1997/1998年亚洲金融危机,撒哈拉以南非洲国家的国民(最初定居在中东和东南亚其他地区)以前所未有的数量迁往中国广州。后来,随着中国经济的改善和中非经济关系的加强,更多的人加入了他们的行列。本文讨论了加纳演员在广州,中国在过去的二十年的经验。它概述了他们各自的特点,主要活动,迁移轨迹和他们前往中国的动机。本文还分析了他们在这个相对较新的目的地的应对机制,并得出结论,尽管目前的动荡,非洲人留在中国,加纳社区的未来,很大程度上,在中国的非洲人是光明的。
ABSTRACT In the late 1990s and early 2000s, nationals of sub-Saharan Africa who had initially settled in the Middle East and other parts of Southeast Asia moved in unprecedented numbers to Guangzhou, China in response to the 1997/8 Asian financial crisis. They were later joined by many more as the Chinese economy improved and the economic relationship between China and Africa strengthened. This paper discusses the experiences of identifiable sets of Ghanaian actors in Guangzhou, China in the last two decades. It outlines their respective characteristics, main activities, migratory trajectories and their motivations for traveling to China. The paper also analyzes their coping mechanisms in this relatively new destination and concludes that despite the current turbulence that characterizes the stay of Africans in China, the future of the Ghanaian community, and largely, Africans in China is bright.
