Back when we first started studying China-Africa relations, you could literally read everything published. These days this is an impossible task and it can be overwhelming, especially for new researchers just entering the field. Therefore, we have joined with university partners to create these guided reading lists on selected topics relevant to the field.
These curated readings lists have been created by graduate students or by undergraduate students under the guidance of senior China-Africa scholars and provide a topic-specific and user-friendly way to start (or continue) your China-Africa education. These are not meant to be exhaustive lists of everything written on each country or thematic area/sector, but rather a thoughtful compilation of where to start with an introduction to some of the key issues, trends, and authors to follow.
