Self-care in transnational migrant households: Body-mapping of stressors and care strategies of Chinese women stayers

South‐South Irregular Migration: The Impacts of China's Informal Gold Rush in Ghana
This article examines irregular South‐South migration from China to Ghana, and the role it played in transforming livelihoods and broader developmental landscapes. It looks at the entry of approximately 50,000 Chinese migrants into the informal small‐scale gold mining sector from 2008‐2013. These migrants mainly hailed from Shanglin County in Guangxi Province. In Ghana, they formed mutually beneficial relationships with local miners, both legal a…
The quest for environmental justice in China: Citizen participation and the rural-urban network against Panguanying's waste incinerator
Environmental distribution conflicts (EDCs) related to the construction and operation of waste incinerators have become commonplace in China. This article presents a detailed case study of citizen opposition to an incinerator in the village of Panguanying, Hebei Province. Drawing on in-depth fieldwork, we show how this case was notable, because it transcended the local arena to raise bigger questions about environmental justice, particularly in r…
A Chinese Empire in the Making? Questioning Myths from the Agri-Food Sector in Ghana
While China's expanding presence in Africa is often framed as a new project in empire building, the Chinese authorities explain their engagement on the continent as simple 'South-South cooperation'. Taking the agricultural sector in Ghana as a case study, this article challenges both narratives and argues that Chinese farmers in Africa are not a 'silent army' (either malevolent or benevolent), but instead are largely precarious individuals attemp…
Chinese Migrants in Africa: Facts and Fictions from the Agri-Food Sector in Ethiopia and Ghana
This paper makes an empirical and ethnographic contribution to the literature on Chinese migrants in Africa by using five case studies to explore their role in the agri-food sector in Ethiopia and Ghana. We find that the realities of Chinese migrants in this sector matches neither popular media stereotypes of empire building and land grabbing, nor Chinese government narratives of South–South cooperation, technology transfer, and agricultural deve…
