Presentation Abstract The emergence of Chinese enclaves across Africa – including changes in the older Chinatowns of South Africa -- shares characteristics associated with movement, demography and morphology in a fourth wave of Chinese migration worldwide. An examination of these characteristics based on studies in the Americas, Europe, Asia and Australia highlights some of the possibilities as well as changes that are taking shape in Chinese-African connections at the same time these new enclaves, temporary or permanent, incorporate centurial processes of Chinese being in a mobile world and challenges to China itself.
