"Angels of God"? - (Africa in Global History) by Andrea Azizi Kifyasi (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

This book, drawing heavily on archival and oral sources, many of which have not been accessible before, discusses major Chinese-funded projects in Tanzania's health sector. It explores the contexts that gave birth to China's medical assistance in Tanzania and analyses how the funded projects contributed to the nation-building agenda and promoted South-South medical knowledge production, exchanges, and self-sufficiency within the country. By examining entanglements in bilateral relationships among countries of the Global South, the book contributes to research on South-South cooperation.
