DESCRIPTION: In this lunchtime talk, Jamie Monson, professor at Michigan St

 to the present. Reform, Opening Up, Going Out: Africa-China Engagement fro
 m the 1990s to the PresentAfrican states and the PRC implemented economic 
 reforms in the context of globalization in the 1980s, becoming more fully

 ickly took over African markets. Chinese traders were attracted to do busi
 ness in many African countries, while the Chinese government invested heav
 ily in African infrastructure projects. These activities of “Chinese in 
 Africa” were welcomed at the same time that they were contested. Meanwhi
 le, African entrepreneurs and students traveled to China to pursue new opp
 ortunities and as a result multiple and diverse African communities have n
 ow become established in China. Register now to attend The De:link//Re:lin
