BLACK GHOSTS, a journey into the lives of Africans in China

247pp., paperback, Edinburgh, 2023

Noo Saro-Wiwa travels to China to meet African economic migrants.

"Black Ghosts is a marvellous yet unlikely book, travel with a theme, the revelation of modern China by investigating the underclass of African immigrants - highly trained doctors as well as rascals and rappers. Noo Saro-Wiwa is a brave and resourceful traveller-interrogator - outstanding in the so-called travel writing genre." Paul Theroux

"A gripping examination of a little-known land: the one Africans occupy in China or, more accurately, in Guangdong. Who knew? Noo Saro-Wiwa has found a fine subject and covers it nimbly. This is a revealing book" Sara Wheeler
