This book explores the place of China and the Chinese during the
age of imperialism. Focusing not only on the state but also on the
vitality of Chinese culture and the Chinese diaspora, it examines
the seeming contradictions of a period in which China came under
immense pressure from imperial expansion while remaining a major
political, cultural and demographic force in its own right. Where
histories of China commonly highlight episodes of conflict and
subjugation in China's relations with the West, the contributions
to this volume explore the complex spaces where empires and their
peoples did not merely collide but also became entangled.
