<p><b>A <i>FINANCIAL TIMES </i>BOOK OF THE YEAR: TRAVEL</b><br/><br/>China today is a land of opportunity for African people blocked from commerce with most of Europe and Northern America. It is also an intersection of racism and prejudice.<br/><br/>Noo Saro-Wiwa goes in search of China's 'Black Ghosts', African economic migrants in the People's Republic. Living in clustered communities, they are key to the trade between the continents. Her fascinating encounters include a cardiac surgeon, a drug dealer, a visa overstayer and men married to Chinese women who speak English with Nigerian accents. This is a story of intersecting cultures told with candour and compassion, focusing on the shared humanity between the sojourner and their hosts.</p>

Colours Of Sweden - A Sensory Guide To The Country And Its Culture [Bok / Halvklotband]

<p><b>Follow Colm Toibin's lone religious pilgrimage along the Irish border during the tumultuous summer of 1987.</b><br/><br/>In the summer after the Anglo-Irish Agreement, when tension was high in Northern Ireland, Colm Toibin walked along the border from Derry to Newry. <i>Bad Blood</i> is a stark and evocative account of this journey through fear and hatred, and a report on ordinary life and the legacy of history in a bleak and desolate landscape.<br/><br/>Toibin describes the rituals - the marches, the funerals, the demonstrations - observed by both communities along the border, and listens to the stories which haunt both sides. With sympathy and insight <i>Bad Blood</i> captures the intimacy of life along one of the most contested strips of land in Western Europe.<br/><br/><b>Now part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature.</b></p>
