New Silk Road Narratives, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

It is not only goods, financial capital or technologies that are being traded,
negotiated and circulated along the China-led Belt and Road Initiative but also
values, emotions and cultural practices. The latter are often decisive when
imagining and establishing a transregional infrastructure of the scale of the BRI.
This book explores connections and disconnections along the New Silk Roads through
narratives and their cultural configurations. Focusing on China-Africa-relations,
the authors of this book investigate the role of narratives and various forms of
cultural configurations to understand how processes of transregionalization shape
local patterns of thought, perception and practice.
