For the Chinese, the drive toward growing political and economic
power is part of an ongoing effort to restore China's past
greatness and remove the lingering memories of history's
humiliations. This widely praised book explores the 1500-1800
period before China's decline, when the country was viewed as a
leading world culture and power. Europe, by contrast, was in the
early stages of emerging from provincial to international status
while the United States was still an uncharted wilderness. D. E.
Mungello argues that this earlier era, ironically, may contain more
relevance for today than the more recent past. This fully revised
fourth edition retains the clear and concise quality of its
predecessors, while drawing on a wealth of new research on
Sino-Western history and the increasing contributions of Chinese
historians. Building on the author's decades of research and
teaching, this compelling book illustrates the vital importance of
history to readers trying to understand China's renewed rise.
