Recenzje

"In The Sino-African Partnership, Earl Conteh-Morgan offers a new and innovative framework for analyzing the emergent multifaceted milieu of China's relations with Africa. Significantly, the new framework brings to the fore the imperative of transcending the binary of depicting China as either an 'exploiter' in its relations with Africa or China as a 'humanitarian,' which are currently the two dominant analytical prisms for examining Sino-African relations." -George Klay Kieh, Jr., professor of political science & former dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, University of West Georgia
