Press blurb: *Angloscene* examines Afro-Chinese interactions within
Beijing's aspirationally cosmopolitan student class. Jay Ke-Schutte
explores the ways in which many contemporary interactions between Chinese
and African university students are mediated through complex intersectional
relationships with whiteness, the English language, and cosmopolitan
aspiration. At the heart of these tensions, a question persistently
emerges: How does English become more than a language—and whiteness more
than a race? Engaging in this inquiry, Ke-Schutte explores twenty-first
century Afro-Chinese encounters as translational events that diagram the
discursive contours of a changing transnational political order—one that
will certainly be shaped by African and Chinese relations.
