I recently had a conversation about Chinese Espresso with the Global China Pulse.” Thank you @DriessenMiriam for organizing this.
In 'Chinese Espresso', @GraziaDeng draws from ethnographic fieldwork to examine one of the most characteristic Italian places, the coffee bar, highlighting it as a crucial terrain to shape racialisation processes and transform racial hierarchies in Italy.
