Title: CHINA AND AFRICA: ENGAGEMENT AND COMPROMISE
Description: "This book provides a comprehensive assessment of relations between China and Africa. It discusses the historical evolution of Sino-African relations in the period since the 1949 revolution, going on to consider in detail China's relations with Angola, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Zambia, South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland and Malawi. It demonstrates how China has used the rhetoric of anti-hegemonism to secure and promote its position in the Third World, and examines the ways in which Beijing has utilised its African ties as a vehicle to challenge Superpower hegemony.

Overall, this book provides a thorough analysis of the hitherto under-researched topic of relations between China and Africa, a phenomenon of critical importance in contemporary international politics."--Jacket.
