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"--Publisher's description Holds:  0   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Item type Status   Woodlawn Public Library Adult Nonfiction ON ORDER Adult books In Processing Add Copy to MyList Central Library Adult Nonfiction ON ORDER Adult books In Processing Add Copy to MyList
