- This 185-page monograph, the equivalent of three to four journal articles, represents the first book-length academic study of the nature and development impacts of Chinese migration to Africa, offering extensive empirical and theoretically-informed examination of this issue. The empirical base of the book derives from 8 months of full-time ethnographic fieldwork by Lampert in Ghana and Nigeria during an ESRC-funded project, which included 163 in-depth, semi-structured interviews and intensive participant observation. Over the following 2 years (2011-2013), Lampert conducted a full-time in-depth thematic analysis of this dataset and led the drafting and editing of the central chapters of the book.
