 "Mobility, Migration and Flows."Marriott Baltimore Waterfront Hotel, on November 21 - 24, 2013.On a geographically diverse continent, Africanists examine the multi-­‐‑directional movement of people, things, capital, and ideas at many levels. We study not only the movements of people within the Global South and between the Global South and the Global North, but also the borders and the institutions created to police them, in relation to war, environmental change, and outside influence. We look at the transport of materials from one space to another by train, plane, and vehicle across mountains, deserts, lakes, and oceans. Increasingly we are discussing the fluid crossings of boundaries of identity in Africa, be they of religion, ethnicity, gender, language, or sexuality. In our era of social media and technology, we are examining the influence of mass media on the mobility of ideas, symbols, and material objects as well as their commoditization – both within Africa and between Africa and other continents. We look at the ways in which movement can create, sustain and reconfigure human relationships.The ASA Annual Meeting is the largest gathering of Africanist scholars in the world. With an attendance of almost 2,000 scholars and professionals, the conference offers more than 200 panels and roundtables, scholarly and professional plenary and institutional events, awards and prizes, as well as discussion groups, an international exhibit hall, and an on-demand film to appreciate the teaching, research, and professional results of Africanist scholars and that of their colleagues. The Annual Meeting is held in cooperation with major colleges, universities and museums in different regions of North America and attracts participants from North and South America, Africa, Asia and Europe.PROGRAM CHAIRSJamie Monson, Professor of History, Macalester CollegeDianna Shandy, Professor of Anthropology, Macalester College6 panels portent sur la présence chinoise en Afrique et africaine en Chine, et plusieurs communications sur ces sujets apparaissent dans d'autres panels.III-R-3 Living the Life of the Migrant between China and AfricaChair: Yoon Jung Park, African Studies, Howard University and Rhodes University yoon1@verizon.netNo Place Like 'Home': Exploring the 'house' of the Chinese in Zambia / Solange Chatelard, Sciences Po solange.chatelard@gmail.com Assessing Health Care Needs and Services Provided: The Case of African Traders in Guangzhou, China /Margaret Lee, University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill leemc@email.unc.eduAfrican Immigration in Guangzhou China: Cumulative Causation Perspective /Yucheng Liang, Johns Hopkins University lllyc_daisy@hotmail.comEngaging Africa: Community Dynamics and Local Embeddedness Among Chinese Migrants in Ghana and Nigeria /  Ben Lampert, The Open University Ben.Lampert@open.ac.uk &#38; Giles Mohan, The Open University g.mohan@open.ac.ukII-R-1 Circulating Objects and their Meaning in Africa-Asia Mobility 39 Chair: Stephanie Rupp, City University of New York, Lehman College stephanie.rupp@lehman.cuny.eduChairman Mao's Model Train /Jamie Monson, Macalester College jmonson1@macalester.edu 'Fong Kong' in Southern Africa: Interrogating African Views of China-Made Goods / Yoon Jung Park, no affiliation provided yoon1@verizon.netChinoiserie and Chinese Objects in Yaounde (Cameroun): Valuable Distinctions?  / Alexandra Galitzine-Loumpet,ANR EsCA- Maison des Sciences de l'Homme galitzine@msh-paris.frIvory Ironies: Flows of Ivory from Africa to Asia  / Stephanie Rupp, City University of New York, Lehman College stephanie.rupp@lehman.cuny.eduIV-P-1 New Actors in Africa?
