China has recently emerged as one of Africa’s top business partners, aggressively pursuing its raw materials and establishing a mighty presence in the continent’s booming construction market. Among major foreign investors in Africa, China has stirred the most fear, hope, and controversy. For many, the specter of a Chinese neocolonial scramble is looming, while for others China is Africa’s best chance at economic renewal. Yet, global debates about China in Africa have been based more on rhetoric than on empirical evidence. Ching Kwan Lee’s The Specter of Global China is the first comparative ethnographic study that addresses the critical question: Is Chinese capital a different kind of capital?
Offering the clearest look yet at China’s state-driven investment in Africa, this book is rooted in six years of extensive fieldwork in copper mines and construction sites in Zambia, Africa’s copper giant. Lee shadowed Chinese, Indian, and South African managers in underground mines, interviewed Zambian miners and construction workers, and worked with Zambian officials. Distinguishing carefully between Chinese state capital and global private capital in terms of their business objectives, labor practices, managerial ethos, and political engagement with the Zambian state and society, she concludes that Chinese state investment presents unique potential and perils for African development. The Specter of Global China will be a must-read for anyone interested in the future of China, Africa, and capitalism worldwide.

庆宽真是布洛维最好的学生
评分民族志的感觉真好。最后追溯自己进行理论化的思想脉络对写博士论文还是有启发的。
评分特别的伤心 永远的最低等公民
评分Variety of capital. 启发很大的一本书。
评分悬置“中国在非洲是不是新殖民主义”这种裹挟了太多国家政治polemic的问题，转而从“资本（而不是资本主义）的多样性”入手，通过对比中国SOE和跨国私企在赞比亚的采矿业（附带一些建筑业）的几个方面（资本积累逻辑、劳工体制、管理精神），为思考中国在非洲、中国和资本主义世界体系打开了局面。理论依托大致来自Weber（资本者的文化“精神”）、Polanyi（反资本的社会counter-movement）、Wallerstein（世界体系中的国家和资本的勾连）、William Sewell（资本主义的时间性，eventfulness/contingency）。对赞比亚本土的历史/政治语境和agency介绍得颇清楚；作者自陈后期能田野无阻是因为认识了之后上台成为国家副总理的反对党人士。
