With Chinas rise to the status of world power, trade and political links between Africa and China have been escalating at an astonishing rate. SinoAfrican relations are set to become an increasingly significant feature of world politics as Chinas hunger for energy resources grows and many African countries seek a partner that, unlike the West, does not worry about democracy and transparency,or impose political conditions on economic relations. Ian Taylor, one of the foremost authorities on the international relations and political economy of Africa, provides a comprehensive assessment of relations between China and Africa. He discusses the historical evolution of SinoAfrican relations in the period since the 1949 revolution, with particular emphasis on the period since the end of the Cultural Revolution. Considering in detail Chinas relations with Angola, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Zambia, South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland and Malawi, Taylor demonstrates how China has used the rhetoric of antihegemonies to secure and promote its position in the Third World. Taylor gives an engaging account of the hitherto underresearched topic of relations between China and Africa, a phenomenon of growing importance in contemporary international politics.
