尽管当代对中国和非洲的研究大多集中在当前的经济或外交政策问题上，但本文提供了冷战期间非洲-中国文化交流的初步地图。1955年，在印度尼西亚万隆召开的亚非会议上，亚非作家局以全球南方文化斗争的跨国主义为基础，通过后殖民主义的另类概念，构建了第三世界的团结。通过分析文化局的文化交流，特别是他们对世界文学的定义，本文试图超越后殖民学术，专注于殖民者和被殖民者之间的垂直关系。在这样做的过程中，它既从美国和苏联的二分法之外重新解释了冷战，又为中国目前在非洲的存在提供了一种批判性的文化历史化。
Abstract Although most all contemporary studies of China and Africa focus on current economic or foreign policy concerns, this article provides a preliminary mapping of Africa-China cultural exchanges during the Cold War. Growing out of the Africa-Asia Conference of Bandung, Indonesia, in 1955, the Afro-Asian Writers Bureau forged third world solidarities via an alternative conception of postcolonialism based on the transnationalism of global South cultural struggle. By analyzing the cultural exchanges of the bureau, and in particular their definition of world literature, this article seeks to move beyond postcolonial scholarship that focuses exclusively on a vertical relationship between the colonizer and colonized. In so doing, it both reinterprets the Cold War from outside of an American and Soviet dichotomy and provides a critical cultural historicization to China’s current, and often controversial, presence in Africa.
