Chinese and African Entrepreneurs
This book offers in-depth accounts of encounters between Chinese and African social and economic actors that have been increasing rapidly since the early 2000s. With a clear focus on social changes, be it quotidian behaviour or specific practices, the authors employ multi-disciplinary approaches in analysing the various impacts that the intensifying interaction between Chinese and Africans in their roles as ethnic and cultural others, entrepreneu…

Chinese factor in the space, place and agency of female head porters in urban Ghana
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. I…

The vulnerable other - distorted equity in Chinese-Ghanaian employment relations
Based on a two-sided ethnographic study in Accra, this paper analyses Chinese-Ghanaian employment relations from the perspectives of psychological contract, cross-cultural equity expectations and foreignness. Reaching beyond racially framed allegations of each other that are informed partly by politicized media discourses, structural analysis shows that mutually contradictory, culturally grounded expectations regarding their employment relationsh…

Introduction to Journal of Current Chinese Affairs 1/2013: Chinese Impacts and Impacting China
Same-Same But Different
This article analyzes labor conflicts in Chinese trade businesses in Ghana. After introducing the general situation of Chinese trading companies and the labor market in Ghana, I explore the factors that tend to make Chinese-African employment relations in the trading sector dysfunctional and conflict-prone. In a qualitative ethnographic account, I investigate recruitment processes, interpersonal relationships, concepts of authority, and sanctions…

Speaker’s Corner or Virtual Panopticon
Rapid socioeconomic changes undoubtedly have been taking place in China in the last 20 years. During this process, though still claiming absolute political power, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) had to give way to new social—and political—actors.As a result, the capacity of the CCP to enforce social and political compliance decreased. Without any competitor in China for decades, communist ideology now has also lost much of its former attractive…
New Chinese Migration to Germany
Chinese migration to Germany is not very well documented, even though sojourners arrived in this country as early as the first half of the eighteenth century. There is some research on particular issues in specific historical contexts, such as the discrimination and persecution during the Third Reich (Yü‐Dembski, 1996, 1997), Chinese students in Germany between 1860 and 1945 (Harnisch, 1999), Chinese‐German mixed marriages (Groeling‐Che, 1991), a…
