Description

This volume moves beyond the assumption that European Imperialism was met with cultural ignorance and conservative Sino-centrism by China in the late 19th and early 20th century. Articles closely examine the historical processes involved in the exchange and transmission of ideas, knowledge and technologies between China and Europe. The essays underscore the active and contingent process of the making and unmaking of both Western and Chinese empires.
