(Text)
"This book is the first in-depth treatment from a linguistic perspective of the Chinese presence in Africa. It is essentially a detailed study on communication in various domains between Chinese immigrants in Cameroon and the local community with whom they interact. In eight chapters this well-organized book is able to give a relatively detailed sociolinguistic description of the host country, Cameroon, provide a good theoretical background of the study, outline the methodology used for the study which involved mainly a questionnaire survey, semi-structured interviews, and field observations before drawing conclusions to the study. This is a brilliant contribution to a growing literature on the global Chinese diaspora."Adams Bodomo, Professor of African Studies (Chair of Linguistics and Literatures) at the University of Vienna, AustriaJocelyne Kenne Kenne graduated at the Bayreuth International Graduate School of African Studies (BIGSAS)
