This pivot chronicles the life of Charles McCarthy, a San Francisco
native and Jesuit missionary to China, and tells the unique and
compelling story of a young man who experienced confinement under
the Japanese occupation, followed shortly by imprisonment by the
Chinese Communists in the 1950's. Through a study of McCarthy's
unique epistolary exchanges, it considers the intellectual life of
a Catholic missionary, his ongoing fight for equal citizenship
rights, illustrating how American Catholic missionaries in
Maoist-era Shanghai navigated the social tensions of a nation-state
in turbulent transition. This narrative explores Jesuit strategies
of resistance and persistence in an era of oppression, and
ideological and religious conflict as those sent to fill the
missionary spots left by European men lost in the World Wars were
caught up in China's mid-century political upheavals.
