How do Chinese diasporic experiences in South Africa differ from those in Canada? In this episode, Dr. Melissa Karmen Lee sits down with Dianne Leong Man, co-author of "Colour, Confusion, and Concessions: The History of the Chinese in South Africa", to learn about the country with the highest population of Chinese living in Africa and its community. They discuss the reasons for early Chinese settlement in the country and the South African Chinese Exclusion Act of 1904, the various racial classifications of the Chinese over time in South Africa, and the role Dianne’s book has played in the courtroom to protect Chinese South African rights.
