Overview:

This paper seeks to understand the concentration of Africans in the city of Guangzhou and the factors determining these formations. The authors conduct a study connecting the formation of African clusters to African business places in the city. The paper uses the study to ascertain whether the concept of the ethnic enclave - which they define as residential spatial concentrations that fulfil numerous social and economic functions for its inhabitants- applies to the African concentration in China.
