Reviews

"Rotberg, a versatile and prolific scholar, has edited another useful volume on the burgeoning literature on China-Africa relations.... The scope, quality, and selective uniqueness of its contents make China into Africa one of the better works in the field. Recommended." CHOICE

"In China into Africa, Robert Rotberg's multinational slate of authors introduce key issues in this literature from a variety of perspectives. The result is a volume worth reading cover to cover.... [It] provides a fascinating introduction not only to a variety of issues at stake in Sino-African relations, but also, necessarily, to the issues at stake in the study of those relations." Elizabeth Sperbee, Journal of International Affairs
