Overview of our interview:​​
​
Dr. Bodomo has kindly shared with us his view and perspective on the African migrants community in Hong Kong. He offered us insights to the "hybrdiity" concept in which he thinks that the migrants' identity are constantly changing instead of remaining static - migrants "pack, unpack and repackage" their identity after they have migrated to a new place, Dr. Bodomo said. He has also pioneered the communication method "calculator communication" in his book Africans in China: A Sociocultural Study and Its Implications on Africa-China Relations - Africans use calculators to negotiatate prices at the markets in Hong Kong, Macau and China. His major works focus on the Africa-China relations and the syntactic and semantic structures of a wide range of languages, including Dagaare, Twi, Chinese, Dong and Zhuang.
