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.

Variety of capital. 啓發很大的一本書。

评分

如何提齣好的經驗研究問題? 1 跑到海外去!(這本書就是這樣) 2 發掘史學研究! 3 新興(熱門)社會現象! (正經版: 關注時代的大問題,影響到大多數人的問題,涉及基本的文明格局的問題,影響世道人心的問題)

评分

懸置“中國在非洲是不是新殖民主義”這種裹挾瞭太多國傢政治polemic的問題,轉而從“資本(而不是資本主義)的多樣性”入手,通過對比中國SOE和跨國私企在贊比亞的采礦業(附帶一些建築業)的幾個方麵(資本積纍邏輯、勞工體製、管理精神),為思考中國在非洲、中國和資本主義世界體係打開瞭局麵。理論依托大緻來自Weber(資本者的文化“精神”)、Polanyi(反資本的社會counter-movement)、Wallerstein(世界體係中的國傢和資本的勾連)、William Sewell(資本主義的時間性,eventfulness/contingency)。對贊比亞本土的曆史/政治語境和agency介紹得頗清楚;作者自陳後期能田野無阻是因為認識瞭之後上颱成為國傢副總理的反對黨人士。

评分

好書,但是海外國企與中國國傢之間的細微互動沒有展現,估計也是作者拿不到的資料。

辛苦之作但並不是那麼齣色
