Against the background of China's rapidly growing, and sometimes
highly controversial, activities in Africa, this book is among the
first of its kind to systematically document Sino-African
interactions at the everyday level. Based on sixteen months of
ethnographic fieldwork at two contrasting sites in Lusaka, Zambia-a
Chinese state-sponsored educational farm and a private Chinese
family farm-Di Wu focuses on daily interactions among Chinese
migrants and their Zambian hosts. Daily communicative events, e.g.
banquets, market negotiations, work-place disputes, and various
social encounters across a range of settings are used to trace the
essential role that emotion/affect plays in forming and reproducing
social relations and group identities among Chinese migrants. Wu
suggests that affective encounters in everyday situations-as well
as failed attempts to generate affect-should not be overlooked in
order to fully appreciate Sino-African interactions. Deeply
researched and with rich ethnographic detail, this book will be
relevant to scholars of anthropology, international development,
and others interested in Sino-African relations.
