“世界在广州：南中国全球贸易市场中的非洲人和其他外国人”

日期：3月8日，星期四

时间：18：30 – 19：00

数十年前，广州人口大多数都是中国人。今天，广州已摇身一变成为国际大都会，汇聚全球移居人士。在广州这片天地，外国人建立起新的生活、寻找自我及发展事业。这些人很多都是从事出口贸易的非洲人；他们把中国制造的商品出口至自已的国家，而这些商品大多数都是伪冒或仿制品。麦高登教授（Gordon Mathews）将通过本次讲座揭示广州成为“低端全球化” 中心的过程。他将分析在语言、文化及宗教信仰都不相通的情況下，中国人何以能够与来自撒哈拉以南的非洲人进行非正式的经济活动。他亦将探讨宗教在外国商人中扮演的角色，特別是那些以传教为毕生志业的基督徒商人。最后，麦高登教授诘问，当这些非洲人在广州成家立业、落地生根，我们将来有机会见到一名中国版奥巴马吗？
