China and East Africa: Ancient Ties, Contemporary Flows
This book engages globalization from an archaeological and long-term perspective by using the case study of the historical interaction between China and East Africa. It raises questions of whether the greater connectivity that has emerged from globalization will lead to homogenization of culture, or the creation of a monoculture.

The book offers a complex vision of different organisational forms of economic life and different evolutionary patterns of Sino-African exchanges. A broad array of commodities (ceramics, textile, coins, etc.) traded between China and East Africa that have been recovered from archaeological excavations are described and discussed.
This book is a great resource for archaeologists working in East Africa and China. Altogether, the contributors provide a better understanding of the ancient socioeconomic ties and contemporary flows between China and East Africa.
