Africana People in China

<p>This book examines the psychosocial experiences of foreign workers from Africa and its diaspora in China within the context of international socio-economic forces. By exploring employment-based migration from a psychoanalytic perspective this volume investigates the utility of adaptive ambivalence and the challenges that migrant workers face around issues of self-development agency and identity. Through a careful analysis of interviews with Africana people the author demonstrates that the capacity to be reflective and resilient alongside having a strong and diversified support network are crucial for the psychological well-being of those living and working in unfamiliar geographic and cultural conditions.</p>
