Author(s): Doctor Ben Lampert, Doctor May Tan-Mullins, Daphne Chang, Giles Mohan Format: Hardback Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, United Kingdom Imprint: Zed Books Ltd ISBN-13: 9781780329178, 978-1780329178 Synopsis China's recent stepping up of relations with Africa is one of the most significant developments on the African continent for decades. For some it promises an end to Africa's dependent aid relationships, as the Chinese bring expertise, technology and a stronger business focus. But for others it is no more than a new form of imperialism. This book is the first to systematically study the motivations, relationships and impact of this migration. It focuses not just on the Chinese migrants but also on the perceptions of, and linkages to, their African 'hosts'. By studying this everyday interaction we get a much richer picture of whether this is South-South cooperation, as political leaders would have us believe, or a more complex relationship that can both compromise and encourage African development.
