DESCRIPTION:1. In this talk\, I examine migrant experiences and coping str
 ategies in Kawakami\, a Japanese village located in Northeastern Japan. By
  providing voices of Chinese peasant workers who are normally both invisib
 le and inaudible\, I aim to explore the aspirations of the workers and the
 ir interpretations of their overseas experience in Kawakami. I draw primar
 ily on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Kawakami from early July 2012 t
 o late November 2012.	\n\n2. In this talk\, I will introduce my paper that
  discusses a newly emergent intimate relationship between Chinese women an
 d Nigerian men in contemporary China. The main part will focus on the cult
 ivation of an Africanized love\, habitus and morality\, which substantiall
 y create a feeling of ‘diaspora at home’ for the Chinese. This researc
 h is based on an anthropological fieldwork in Guangzhou\, China (from Sept
 ember 2012 to September 2013) and in Lagos\, Nigeria (from December 2013 t
 o January 2014).
