The influx of public and private sector Chinese actors across the African continent has led to a rise of opportunities and challenges, which the volume sets out to examine. With case studies from Nigeria, Angola, Kenya, South Africa, Ethiopia, and Zambia, and across the technology, natural resource, manufacturing, and financial sectors, it shows not only how African realities shape Chinese actions, but also how African governments and entrepreneurs are learning to leverage their competitive advantages and to negotiate the growing Chinese presence across the continent.
Industry Reviews
This is a wonderful collection of work by accomplished scholars in the China-Africa field who properly put the focus on Africa. The book makes the case for African agency as the continent increases its interaction with China. -- David Shinn, co-author of China and Africa: A Century of Engagement
Africa and China makes an important analytical contribution to a set of consequential issues that remain poorly understood. Gadzala and the chapter authors make a convincing case that Africans are no mere passive observers to China's growing activities on the continent, but rather they are active shapers of the trends-and ultimately responsible for the economic and political effects. -- Todd Moss, Center for Global Development and author, African Development: Making Sense of The Issues and Actors
This is a significant contribution to the study of China-Africa relations by some of the most noted experts in the field, cutting through many cliches and providing a genuinely nuanced understanding of actor agendas, especially on the African side. Invaluable reading for anyone interested in this key dynamic in the domestic politics and external relations of Africa as it enters its second decade. -- Ricardo Soares de Oliveira, University of Oxford
Aleksandra Gadzala's new edited volume puts African agency at the center of its analysis of the China-Africa engagement. These chapters have intellectual heft, careful scholarship, and vivid writing. A collection to read carefully, learn from, and savor. -- Deborah Braeutigam,, Bernard L. Schwartz Professor of International Political Economy, Director of the SAIS China Africa Research Initiative, Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS)
