China has cultural agreements with 42 African countries. US$30 billion will change between Chinese and African hands this year. And China's trade and economic assistance to Africa has grown by geometric proportions. Much existing commentary on China in Africa focuses on the vested interests of the West. Lost in the cacophony have been the voices of independent African analysts and activists. The contributors to this book - including Horace Campbell, Michelle Chan-Fishel, Daniel Large, Stephen Marks and Kwesi Kwaa Prah - present African social, historical and cross-continental perspectives on Chinese involvement in Africa in a unique collection of essays.
