The Dragon’s Shadow: China’s New Empire in Africa is a bold and necessary exposé that peels back the layers of China’s rapidly expanding influence across the African continent. Moving beyond headlines and official rhetoric, Sam Prajnananda uncovers the reality behind Beijing’s promises of “win-win partnership”—revealing a landscape shaped by hidden debt, environmental devastation, digital surveillance, and the complicity of local elites.
Blending investigative journalism, case studies, and the voices of Africans on the frontlines, this book challenges readers to confront the uncomfortable truth: a new form of empire is being forged in the age of globalization. From the forests of Gabon to the cyber-cities of Kenya, from resource-rich mines to labor-stricken factories, The Dragon’s Shadow traces how dependency and exploitation persist—this time clothed in the symbols of South-South solidarity.
Yet, at its heart, this is a story of resistance, innovation, and hope. Prajnananda calls on Africa’s youth, civil society, and leaders to reclaim the continent’s destiny. Essential reading for anyone invested in Africa’s future, this book is both a warning and a roadmap—a call to audit, expose, renegotiate, and reclaim true sovereignty.
