Hangwei Li: "Assembling Shaolin in Zambia: African trainees programme, cultural heritage, and philanthropy"
"Frontiers of Faith" is a multidisciplinary academic network for scholars working on religion in the China-Africa space. Economic and political dynamics in this field have been central in scholarly and popular debates, but the complex cultural side of China-Africa encounters has been conspicuously absent. If factories, construction sites and mines have been the paradigmatic sites of China-Africa engagement, what can we learn from the small but increasing number of churches, monasteries and mosques on the complex and multifaceted ‘frontiers’ between Africa and China?
