简介
注解 Text in English. 附註 Includes bibliographical references and index. 摘要 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. We meet a broad spectrum of China's dogged emigrant population, from those singlehandedly reshaping African infrastructure, commerce, and even environment, to those just barely scraping by, still convinced that Africa affords them better opportunities than their homeland. And we encounter an equally panoramic array of African responses to this new world order. 內容 Part One: Manifest destiny -- Mozambique -- Behold the future -- Friendly gestures -- Part Two: The devil and the deep blue sea -- Liberia: small fates -- Conakry: late to the banquet -- Freetown: instruments of magic -- Why Mali? -- Ghana: habits of democracy -- Part Three: Happy family -- Saints of the household -- Fat of the land. 摘要 Documents the burgeoning Chinese presence in Africa to examine China's potentially world-changing role in reshaping Africa's culture and economy.
