Kenya's Engagement with China
2022,2023
Overview
In recent decades, Kenya has witnessed profound changes in its
economic, cultural, and environmental landscapes resulting from its
interactions with China. University students are competing for
scholarships to study in China, coastal artisanal fishers are
increasingly worried about Chinese-owned trawlers depleting fish
stocks, fishers on Lake Victoria are grappling with the impact of
frozen tilapia from China, and unemployed youth are seeking a fair
shot at working on one of Kenya's multimillion-dollar
Chinese-funded infrastructure projects. Anita Plummer's Kenya's
Engagement with China investigates the tension between
official Kenyan and Chinese state narratives and individual
Kenyans' reactions to China's presence to provide insight into how
everyday Kenyans exercise their political agency. The competing
discourses Plummer uncovers in person, in the news, and online
reveal how Kenyans use China to question local power structures,
demand policy change, and articulate different visions for their
country's future. This critical text represents the next step in
research on Sino-African relations.
