Abstract

China has recently emerged as one of Africa’s top business partners, aggressively pursuing its raw materials and establishing a mighty presence in the continent’s booming construction market. Among major foreign investors in Africa, China has stirred the most fear, hope, and controversy. For many, the specter of a Chinese neocolonial scramble is looming, while for others China is Africa’s best chance at economic renewal. Yet, global debates about China in Africa have been based more on rhetoric than on empirical evidence. Ching Kwan Lee’s The Specter of Global China is the first comparative ethnographic study that addresses the critical question: Is Chinese capital a different kind of capital? Offering the clearest look yet at China’s state-driven investment in Africa, this book is rooted in six years of extensive fieldwork in copper mines and construction sites in Zambia, Africa’s copper giant. Lee shadowed Chinese, Indian, and South African managers in underground mines, interviewed Zambian miners and construction workers, and worked with Zambian officials. Distinguishing carefully between Chinese state capital and global private capital in terms of their business objectives, labor practices, managerial ethos, and political engagement with the Zambian state and society, she concludes that Chinese state investment presents unique potential and perils for African development. The Specter of Global China will be a must-read for anyone interested in the future of China, Africa, and capitalism worldwide.

Abstract

"Durant ces vingt dernières années, nulle part ailleurs qu'en Afrique l'expansion de la puissance chinoise n'a été aussi phénoménale. Multidimensionnelle, l'implication de la Chine se manifeste par une hyperactivité diplomatique et économique, par la pénétration des commerçants, travailleurs et produits chinois, par un engagement croissant dans le maintien de la paix. Malgré son pragmatisme et ses succès réels, la stratégie chinoise en Afrique suscite aussi interrogations et critiques : déstructuration du secteur informel, déficit de gouvernance démocratique, méconnaissance du terrain... Evitant le piège de la morale, l'auteur propose ici une synthèse précieuse sur la présence incontournable de la Chine en Afrique. Etudiants, chercheurs et tout simplement passionnés d'Afrique et de Chine y trouveront des informations et des analyses rares."

Abstract

Cet ouvrage apporte la preuve que l’affirmation de la puissance économique de la Chine et de l’Inde influence dès à présent les schémas de croissance des pays africains, particulièrement des pays exportateurs de pétrole et de produits de base. L’augmentation des cours mondiaux des produits de base aura certes des retombées positives sur les pays producteurs d’Afrique et du monde entier, mais d’autres paramètres entrent également en jeu. Certains pays d’Afrique délaissent aujourd’hui leurs partenaires traditionnels de l’OCDE au profit de la Chine et de l’Inde, que ce soit dans leurs échanges commerciaux, ou dans leurs autres formes de relations. Cet ouvrage analyse les conséquences de cette évolution et parvient à des conclusions surprenantes

Abstract

An exciting, hugely revealing account of China's burgeoning presence in Africa: a developing empire already shaping, and reshaping, the future of millions of people. A prizewinning foreign correspondent and former New York Times bureau chief in Shanghai and in West and Central Africa, Howard French is uniquely positioned to tell the story of China in Africa. Through meticulous on-the-ground reporting-conducted in Mandarin, French, and Portuguese, among other languages-French crafts a layered investigation of astonishing depth and breadth as he engages not only with policy-shaping moguls and diplomats, but also with the ordinary men and women navigating the street-level realities of cooperation, prejudice, corruption, and opportunity forged by this seismic geopolitical development. With incisiveness and empathy, French reveals the human face of China's economic, political, and human presence across the African continent-and in doing so reveals what is at stake for everyone involved.

Abstract

"Only decades ago, the population of Guangzhou was almost wholly Chinese. Today, it is a truly global city, a place where people from around the world go to make new lives, find themselves, or further their careers. A large number of these migrants are small-scale traders from Africa who deal in Chinese goods--often knockoffs or copies of high-end branded items--to send back to their home countries. In The World in Guangzhou, Gordon Mathews explores the question of how the city became a center of "low-end globalization" and shows what we can learn from that experience about similar transformations elsewhere in the world. Through detailed ethnographic portraits, Mathews reveals a world of globalization based on informality, reputation, and trust rather than on formal contracts. How, he asks, can such informal relationships emerge between two groups--Chinese and sub-Saharan Africans--that don't share a common language, culture, or religion? And what happens when Africans move beyond their status as temporary residents and begin to put down roots and establish families?" -- Publisher's description
