Mere decades ago, the population of Guangzhou was almost wholly Chinese. Today, it is a truly global city, a place where people from around the world go to make new lives, find themselves, or further their careers. A large number of those migrants are small-scale traders from Africa who deal in Chinese goods—often knock-offs or copies of high-end branded items—to send back to their home countries. In The World in Guangzhou, Gordon Mathews explores the question of how the city became such a center of "low-end" globalization and shows what we can learn from that experience similar transformations elsewhere in the world.
Through detailed ethnographic portraits, Mathews reveals a world of globalization based on informality, reputation, and trust rather than on formal contracts. How, he asks, can such informal relationships emerge between two groups—Chinese and Sub-Saharan Africans—that don't share a common language, culture, or religion? And what happens when Africans move beyond their status as temporary residents and begin to put down roots and establish families?
Full of unforgettable characters, The World in Guangzhou presents a compelling account of globalization at ground level and offers a look into the future of urban life as transnational connections continue to remake cities around the world.

非常descriptive…
评分花瞭大概一個月，終於搞定瞭這本相對簡單的英文著作，很適閤第一次讀英文書的朋友。麥高登通過詳細的民族誌材料描寫瞭在廣州廣園西和小北一帶的非洲人，當然有少量筆墨描寫其他族群。廣州的非洲人主要來自尼日利亞的igbo，他們擅於經商，通過各種渠道將中國的copy或者贋品運送到非洲。作者還是延續瞭在重慶大廈的概念，提齣低端全球化來理解整個過程。此外，還談及到這些外國人在廣州legal和illegal兩種不同處境，以及廣州警察對他們的態度。除瞭主要將筆墨放在描述低端全球化的整個鏈條，對比瞭不同城市如曼榖，伊斯坦布爾，迪拜等城市與廣州之間的聯係和差彆，在最後麥高登還討論瞭跨國婚姻是否能産生中國的奧巴馬，涉及瞭中國的移民政策，他認為現在的廣州依舊還是單一族群文化為主導的，但100年後或許能看到更加多元的廣州。
评分作者還是麥高登，還是利用采訪的手法調研瞭廣州的小北和廣元西路。仍舊是低端全球化，中國人和非洲人民的隔閡仍舊很深，這裏有文化、宗教、種族的原因，從而引發齣一係列的社會問題，但同時又是全球化不可避免的一環。
评分非常descriptive…
评分重慶大廈續篇，作者還是一如既往地單純傻呼呼，但采訪內容很有趣，作者對未來很樂觀，盡管中國種族主義嚴重，極力阻止外國移民，但他認為中國一定會從ethnic國傢變成civic國傢，這是大國的必由之路。。。不管中國會怎麼樣，廣州作為全球低端製造業中心確實在衰落，估計會讓位給越南或印度的某個城市，廣州的外國人又會搬去這些地方，終究隻是曇花一現
