Born into a low-level literati family in the port city of Ningbo,
the seventeenth-century Chinese Christian convert Zhu Zongyuan
likely never left his home province. Yet Zhu nonetheless led a
remarkably globally connected life. His relations with the outside
world, ranging from scholarly activities to involvement with
globalizing Catholicism, put him in contact with a complex and
contradictory set of foreign and domestic forces. In Global
Entanglements of a Man Who Never Traveled, Dominic Sachsenmaier
explores the mid-seventeenth-century world and the worldwide flows
of ideas through the lens of Zhu's life, combining the local,
regional, and global. Taking particular aspects of Zhu's multiple
belongings as a starting point, Sachsenmaier analyzes the contexts
that framed his worlds as he balanced a local life and his
border-crossing faith. At the local level, the book pays attention
to the intellectual, political, and social environments of late
Ming and early Qing society, including Confucian learning and the
Manchu conquest, questioning the role of ethnic and religious
identities. At the global level, it considers how individuals like
Zhu were situated within the history of organizations and power
structures such as the Catholic Church and early modern empires
amid larger transformations and encounters. A strikingly original
work, this book is a major contribution to East Asian,
transnational, and global history, with important implications for
historical approaches and methodologies.
