Book Review: China and Mozambique: from comrades to capitalists. Edited by Chris Alden and Sérgio Chichava

After a decade of mostly broad-brush books on China in Africa, this edited volume forms part of a new phase in China—Africa studies, of drilling deeper into country specifics. Mozambique is an interesting country to focus on as its relations with China are not like Angola's, Kenya's or Ethiopia's, and can be best characterized as ‘a relationship of caution, compromise and collaboration’ (p. 1).
