The Specter of Global China pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
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.
Ching Kwan Lee is professor of sociology at the University of California, Los Angeles. She is the author of Gender and the South China Miracle: Two Worlds of Factory Women and Against the Law: Labor Protests in China’s Rustbelt and Sunbelt.
预期太高了 以为是像ring leader for a day那种有故事的 结果还是玩弄了很多概念 而且马克思左派的normative judgment太多 工人条件不好就一定是被剥削了 赞比亚工人偷盗也是一种“counter-movement" 翻白眼 最喜欢的是第四章说的在赞比亚的中国工人集体吃苦主义 要多一点这样的故事 少一点强加的总结就好了|notes in Evernote
评分对马克思,韦伯,波兰尼的讨论和贡献一气呵成,顺带敲击了下布迪厄式样的文化研究。融合了资本流动,劳工政治,国际合作和文化冲突几个热门话题,巧妙地把“人”和“结构”结合起来。最值得跪的地方是把各种messy的观察整合成为统计一个理论框架下的类似于processual的讨论,以小见大,macro foundations of micro sociology的典型案例。
评分Inspiring. “中国之外的中国”真的是很新颖也很重要的一种视角。
