"China's Economic Impact on Africa" published on by Oxford University Press.

Opens with an article by Edmond Keller that traces Africa's development from post-colonial times to the Cold War & examines the challenges that Africa still faces. Then presents articles that address three players currently seeking to exert influence in Africa: China, the United States, & Islamist groups of the Middle East. Closes with an article by President Festus Mogae of Botswana asserting that change in Africa must come from within, instead of being externally imposed upon it. Each article focuses on a different facet of the larger phenomenon of Africa's recent effort to raise its position in the world. however, what is noteworthy is that each one, in the end, calls on African states to push themselves forward. The countries of Africa will face many challenges in the next 50 years, but the answers to its problems do not lie with foreign powers. Indeed, for the first time in history. Africa is prepared to face these issues alone & carry itself forward into a new era of African independence. Adapted from the source document.
