Author Noo Saro-Wiwa had not spent much time in China when she heard that cities like Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Yiwu, among others, were home to large, vibrant African migrant communities. But other than some of the headlines about the diaspora population that appeared during the COVID pandemic, she didn't know much about this faraway population.
So, she set out on a three-month odyssey through China to meet the traders and other African merchants who make up the bulk of this community to find out more about their lives and what it's like for them to live in Chinese society.
She tells the story in a fascinating new book "Black Ghosts: A Journey Into the Lives of Africans in China)" and joins Eric & Geraud from London to discuss the adventure she had in writing the story.
