This book captures an epochal juncture of two of the world's most
transformative processes: the People's Republic of China's rapidly
expanding sphere of influence across the global south and the
disintegration of the Amazonian, Cerrado, and Andean biomes. The
intersection of these two processes took another step in April
2020, when Chinese President Xi Jinping launched a "New Health Silk
Road" agenda of aid and investment that would wind through South
America, extending the Eurasian-African "Belt and Road Initiative"
to a series of mine, port, energy, infrastructure, and agrobusiness
megaprojects in the Latin American tropics. Through thirty short
essays, this volume brings together an impressive array of
contributors, from economists, anthropologists, and political
scientists to Black, feminist, and Indigenous community organizers,
Chinese stakeholders, environmental activists, and local
journalists to offer a pathbreaking analysis of China's presence in
South America. As cracks in the progressive legacy of the Pink Tide
and the failures of ecocidal right-wing populisms shape new
political economies and geopolitical possibilities, this book
provides a grassroots-based account of a post-US centered world
order, and an accompanying map of the stakes for South America that
highlights emerging voices and forms of resistance.
