Research School of School of Asian, African, and Amerindian Studies
Citation: The Research School of Asian, African, and Amerindian Studies (CNWS) integrates students and scholars in the arts, social sciences and law of the Non-Western world within the Netherlands. We conduct our work as part of an ongoing exchange of knowledge and ideas with people elsewhere in the world, so broadening our understanding and knowledge of both Western and Non-Western cultures. We develop our own analytical approach, but on the basis of a detailed understanding of local languages and knowledge. Consequently the School’s students and scholars often spend extended periods of time in the countries of their specialization and among the communities they study. In this way research is conducted in a clearly international context, and the School facilitates and encourages extensive contacts with scholars from other parts of the world.

China Returns to Africa : Anatomy of an Expansive Engagement (WP)
Citation: This paper presents a scoping analysis of the main contours of relations, offering an anatomy of key dimensions of an expansive Chinese engagement in the continent that remains dynamic. It begins by contextualising current relations by locating these within a longer history of ties and tracing the emergence of the current engagement after 1989 and the catalyst of China’s go global strategy after 2000. It proceeds to identify the key economic and political drivers of China’s African engagement, before surveying key economic trends and noting China’s aid programme. It concludes by assessing the implications for international politics and the pressure China’s own foreign relations principles impose upon its increasingly multifaceted role.

Images of Colonialism
Citation: Constituting a visual record of early European contacts with Asia and Africa, Widener Library’s Images of Colonialism Collection is a primary visual resource for historical and socio-cultural studies. Made up largely of late-19th and early-20th century trade cards and illustrated European newspapers, this collection of more than 700 images offers insight into European perspectives on varying aspects of colonial experience by documenting how popular perceptions of Asia and Africa were created and disseminated. The collection can also be used to draw contrasts between colonial attitudes among the French, British, German, and Dutch colonizers and the realities in the colonies.
