Abstract:Arguing that there is an empirical lag in the field of India-Africa studies, this collective volume focuses on field-based research. It is the outcome of a collaborative project between the British Association of South Asian Studies and the British Institute in Eastern Africa. Part 1 places India-Africa interactions in context: Fantu Cheru and Cyril Obi set out a broad analysis of India-Africa relations in the 21st century; Pádraig Carmody considers India as an 'Asian driver' in the 'new scramble for Africa' and Sanusha Naidu covers the widening general impact of India's footprint in Africa. Part 2 turns to India's relations with East Africa through a number of case studies: The impact of India-Kenya trade relations on the Kenya garment industry (Paul Kamau and Dorothy McCormick); Chinese and Indian entrepreneurs in the East African economies (Aleksandra W. Gadzala); Diaspora, political economy and India's relations with Kenya (Gerard McCann); Offshore healthcare management: medical tourism between Kenya, Tanzania and India (Renu Modi); 'AwaaZ': a personal and collective journey (Zarina Patel and Zahid Rajan); and Fragile fortunes: India's oil venture into war-torn Sudan (Luke Patey).The third and final part provides a wider thematic and geographical optic: Emma Mawdsley discusses the rhetorics and rituals of 'South-South' development cooperation focusing on India and Africa; Alex Vines examines India's strategic interests in the Indian Ocean; and Simona Vittorini and David Harris compare India's engagements with Liberia and Ghana.
