全書充滿偏見與惡意地講述瞭「中國殖民主義」,與其說是調研,不如說是作者跑瞭幾個非洲國傢,四處收集從他人口中說齣的中國壞話。如果作者紮紮實實花時間做調研擺數據倒也未嘗不可,但組成全書的都是極其淺薄的觀察與采訪,充滿瞭對中國人的歧視,惡意揣度與暗示引導,采訪對象中甚至包括我現實中認識的人。作者並沒有把人作為活生生的個體去觀察,一味道聽途說,斷章取義,並無心做真實的調研,隻是迎閤輿論熱點搏眼球罷瞭。讀完這本書,更懂得身為記者,寬容與開放精神的可貴。

評分何偉不是標準,但他真是定瞭一個很高的標準
評分很難說現在的非洲有多少中國人,最低估計在一百萬以上,他們對非洲的經濟與環境有什麼影響,他們所做的事與當年的歐洲殖民者有什麼相似與不同,都是很值得一寫的題目。我相信這個作者已經盡可能的客觀,可恨的是東一榔頭西一棒子,跟這吃頓飯跟那聊半小時,誰的故事都沒寫齣根源,相比之下何偉那種深度報道功力高齣太多瞭
評分可能因為作者職業是記者,所以選擇和組織材料的時候更注重用個體命運反映時代精神,有這樣一雙來自體係外的眼睛來審視和記錄非洲大陸的中國移民潮,也讓這本書算得上難得的參考文獻。一方麵,中國確實是目前對非洲影響最大的外部力量,這種堂皇的政府行為當然是刻意為之;另一方麵,非洲各國居民對於中國和中國人的態度和情感,卻是由水平參差的國人個體決定的,這是很難受政策調控的。想一想人口三百多萬的納米比亞,現在坐擁數萬中國移民,而且很多是沒有技術和資金的底層勞動者,這其中的大部分又形成瞭排外的小團體,也無法對當地社會産生積極的進步推動作用,引起負麵情緒也是相當正常。當然,跟何偉的那種細水長流比起來,傅好文顯然更糙更咄咄逼人,但他穿越數十國,記錄瞭他看到聽到的、想到的沒想到的。

A prizewinning foreign correspondent and former New York Times bureau chief in Shanghai and in West and Central Africa, Howard French is uniquely positioned to tell the story of China in Africa. Through meticulous on-the-ground reporting—conducted in Mandarin, French, and Portuguese, among other languages—French crafts a layered investigation of astonishing depth and breadth as he engages not only with policy-shaping moguls and diplomats, but also with the ordinary men and women navigating the street-level realities of cooperation, prejudice, corruption, and opportunity forged by this seismic geopolitical development. With incisiveness and empathy, French reveals the human face of China’s economic, political, and human presence across the African continent—and in doing so reveals what is at stake for everyone involved.
We meet a broad spectrum of China’s dogged emigrant population, from those singlehandedly reshaping African infrastructure, commerce, and even environment (a self-made tycoon who harnessed Zambia’s now-booming copper trade; a timber entrepreneur determined to harvest the entirety of Liberia’s old-growth redwoods), to those just barely scraping by (a sibling pair running small businesses despite total illiteracy; a karaoke bar owner–cum–brothel madam), still convinced that Africa affords them better opportunities than their homeland. And we encounter an equally panoramic array of African responses: a citizens’ backlash in Senegal against a “Trojan horse” Chinese construction project (a tower complex to be built over a beloved soccer field, which locals thought would lead to overbearing Chinese pressure on their economy); a Zambian political candidate who, having protested China’s intrusiveness during the previous election and lost, now turns accommodating; the ascendant middle class of an industrial boomtown; African mine workers bitterly condemning their foreign employers, citing inadequate safety precautions and wages a fraction of their immigrant counterparts’.
French’s nuanced portraits reveal the paradigms forming around this new world order, from the all-too-familiar echoes of colonial ambition—exploitation of resources and labor; cut-rate infrastructure projects; dubious treaties—to new frontiers of cultural and economic exchange, where dichotomies of suspicion and trust, assimilation and isolation, idealism and disillusionment are in dynamic flux.
Part intrepid travelogue, part cultural census, part industrial and political exposé, French’s keenly observed account ultimately offers a fresh perspective on the most pressing unknowns of modern Sino-African relations: why China is making the incursions it is, just how extensive its cultural and economic inroads are, what Africa’s role in the equation is, and just what the ramifications for both parties—and the watching world—will be in the foreseeable future.
