Description

This book illuminates the cultural legacy of sovereign thinking that emerged from the violent meetings between the British Empire and the Qing Dynasty (1644–1911). Liu demonstrates how the collision of imperial will and competing interests led to the invention of “China,” “the East,” “the West,” and the notion of “the world” in recent history.
