Cyrildene, Johannesburg Mail & Guardian |
Another fascinating, detailed read on Africa's new Chinese migrants, by a gifted writer. Ufrieda Ho tells the inside story of Cyrildene -- one of Johannesburg's two Chinatowns -- and the people who make their lives there. This was the old Jewish neighborhood when my husband lived in Johannesburg. As a political scientist, I have always been impressed by the large number of Chinese associations signposted in Cyrildene. Ufrieda Ho says there are 54. Anyone up for a Robert Putnam-esque study?
