Rezensionen

"This important book tells the stories of Chinese manufacturers who settled in West Africa at the time of independence, providing much needed historical perspective on a topic too often viewed as a recent phenomenon. Liu's deep knowledge of both African and Chinese migration history allows him to write a fine grained and authoritative story, illuminating not only Chinese interests but also African agency."
