This resource-rich, naturally-spectacular continent is the second largest on the planet, with the fastest growing population. With a flourishing younger generation, Africa will soon have the world’s largest workforce. With a rich supply of critical minerals – lithium, graphite, copper, cobalt – Africa is the target of global competition. China has lost no time in developing trade, manufacturing and mining, while financing infrastructure with bilateral loans. The Foreign Policy Association’s essay by Jendayi E. Frazer, 'U.S. Engagement with Africa,' is available in the library, and a copy can be emailed to you by library director Jane Malmberg: jmalmberg@walpoletownlibrary.org All are welcome to join either in person or via Zoom. Please request the Zoom link from Jane Malmberg and join at 6:30 p.m., following the Master Class video which cannot be shown over Zoom. (The Master Class presents a fascinating history of U.S.-Africa interventions and China’s Belt and Road Initiatives and failures, not to be missed!)"
