This special issue of African Human Mobility Review titled "De-centering the study of Sino-African migrations" brings together a selection of critical research contributions from scholars who offer knowledge to bridge the scholarship gap on Migration Studies. The journal is well-established in the peer-reviewed social science arena with interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary intellectual perspectives. It also provides a venue for further research on emerging areas, highlights important issues, and describes new cross-disciplinary applications.

We are confident that this special issue provides a significant resource for scholars and practitioners that offers new ways of thinking about migrations between Africa and China. It also promotes the critical role of knowledge that consults facts and credible evidence to make decisions.

This special issue would not have been possible without the professionalism and hard work of our Guest Editors, Professor Anna Triandafyllidou, who holds the Canada Excellence Research Chair in Migration and Integration Program at Toronto Metropolitan University and Dr. Oreva Olakpe, researcher at Toronto Metropolitan University. We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to all reviewers for their thoughtful, insightful, and scholarly evaluation of manuscripts.
