Publisher's Synopsis
Africa has long been linked with India. Beyond the laudatory tales of Gandhi's South African days, however, it is obvious that Africa is now on India's agenda under radically altered geopolitical and economic circumstances, with billions of dollars invested in the continent. Despite these developments, China has occupied the limelight in discussions of Africa's burgeoning relations with the non-Western world. McCann redresses this balance with a critical analysis of India's rapidly changing commercial, political, and cultural engagements with African countries.
