China's involvement in Africa has provoked much debate and
discussion. Is China just the latest in a line of exploiters of
Africa's rich natural resources who put their own economic
interests above humanitarian, environmental or human rights
concerns? Or is China's engagement an extension of 'South-South
solidarity'? Does China's involvement enable African countries to
free themselves from the tyranny of debt and conditionality that,
through two decades of structural adjustment programmes, have
reversed most of the gains of independence? Or is Africa swapping
one tyranny for another? Much of the commentary on China in Africa
focuses either on assessing how Western capital's interest might be
affected, or on denouncing China for practices that have for
centuries been the norm for US and European powers - support for
dictators, callous destruction of the environment, exploitation of
minerals, and complete disregard for human rights. Lost in that
noisy debate has been the voice of independent African analysts and
activists. They are heard in this unique collection of essays from
the prize-winning weekly electronic newsletter, Pambazuka News. As
these articles demonstrate, there is no single 'African view' about
China in Africa, but the authors are united by their concern for,
and commitment to, social justice for Africa's people. The
contributors include: Ali Askouri, Horace Campbell, Michelle
Chan-Fishel, Moreblessings Chidaushe, John Blessing Karumbidza,
Daniel Large, Anabela Lemos, Firoze Manji, Stephen Marks, Ndubisi
Obiorah, Kwesi Kwaa Prah, Daniel Ribeiro and John Rocha.
