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 languageāand whiteness more than a race?Engaging in this inquiry, Ke-Schutteexplores twenty-first century Afro-Chinese encounters as translational events that diagram the discursive contours of a changing transnational political orderāone that will certainly be shaped by African and Chinese relations.
