I recently had a conversation about Chinese Espresso with the Global China Pulse.” Thank you @DriessenMiriam for organizing this.

[People's Map of Global China @GlobalChinaMap]

In 'Chinese Espresso', @GraziaDeng draws from ethnographic fieldwork to examine one of the most characteristic Italian places, the coffee bar, highlighting it as a crucial terrain to shape racialisation processes and transform racial hierarchies in Italy. https://t.co/SvPkP7Luxs

I am happy to share my article that is just out today by the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies!
It examines the racialized vocabulary that Chinese migrants in Italy use to make sense of the racial reality in which they live. https://t.co/d0crj8bF1g

[Grazia Deng @GraziaDeng]

@peharch Thanks. I have a forthcoming piece on this topic. Will share with you guys once it’s available online.

[Grazia Deng @GraziaDeng]

@peharch Lol. As a Chinese scholar working on race and racism in Italy, I have to say this is ridiculous, but I’m not surprised at all.
