Colonial legacies Who was Cecil Rhodes? A new biography describes the businessman and imperialist behind the global protest movement

中國的到來為非洲帶來了一絲可能性的曙光。但也有人察覺到了危險。不久前仍擔任尼日利亞央行改革派行長的拉米多·薩努西警告稱，擁抱中國的追求者，「非洲如今正心甘情願地向一種新形式的帝國主義敞開大門」。徐京華是全球化時代的產物，他將國家、企業和個人權力融合在一起，其方式令人回想起更古老的時代。我採訪的兩位經驗豐富的非洲礦業高管——一位在安哥拉，另一位在辛巴威——將昆士蘭帝國比作塞西爾·羅茲——一個多世紀前，這位英國殖民者兼礦業巨頭收買南部非洲，以圖掠奪那裡的財富。 “這就像羅茲，”其中一位說道，“試圖再次征服非洲。”

China’s arrival has sent a frisson of possibility through Africa. But some sense danger. Lamido Sanusi, until recently the reformist governor of Nigeria’s central bank, has warned that, in embracing its Chinese suitors, “Africa is now willingly opening itself up to a new form of imperialism”. Sam Pa is a creature of the era of globalisation, fusing state, corporate and personal power in ways that recall an older age. Two seasoned African mining executives I spoke to – one in Angola, another in Zimbabwe – likened the Queensway empire to Cecil Rhodes, the British colonialist-cum-mining magnate who suborned southern Africa in pursuit of its riches more than a century ago. “It’s like Rhodes,” said one, “trying to conquer Africa all over again.”
