 <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In Global Entanglements of a Man Who Never Traveled<\/em>, Dominic Sachsenmaier explores the mid-seventeenth-century world and the worldwide flows of ideas through the lens of Zhu\u2018s life, combining the local, regional, and global. Taking particular aspects of Zhu\u2018s 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.<\/p>\n

    Reviews<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Global Entanglements of a Man Who Never Traveled<\/em> is a mature work by a scholar who has reflected not only on the history of Christianity in China but also on the problem of cultural interactions in the early modern era. Sachsenmaier offers a significant departure from the tradition of Christian studies in China even while dealing with the question of Christianity as a faith. He explores the historical problem of self-formation and trans-formation\u2014both individual and collective\u2014and the organizational machinery of the Catholic Church during a period of momentous global encounters. Prasenjit Duara, Duke University<\/strong><\/p>\n

    This book offers an engaging portrait of an “ordinary” Chinese of the seventeenth century who called himself Cosmas, and whose curiosity about the world beyond China drew him to Christianity. His Jesuit instructors may have thought they were accommodating Christian beliefs to Confucian China, but it was Cosmas and his Chinese friends who did the real work of making sense of Christianity from where they stood. Timothy Brook, University of British Columbia<\/strong><\/p>\n

    This is a fascinating global analysis of a Chinese Catholic\/Confucian literatus living in the seventeenth century in Ningbo, a port city in southeast China. The life and thoughts of Zhu Zongyuan, who never traveled to distant places and who was not the most prominent Catholic in his lifetime, nevertheless evince the converging of Catholic knowledge and ideas, Confucian tradition, and the cultural complexity and diversity of Ningbo. Sachsenmaier analyzes the internal tensions, contradictions, and unique strategies inherent in a man entangled in global history and local tradition. This book contributes substantially to both Chinese intellectual history and the rising field of global history. Wang Hui, Tsinghua University, Beijing<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The Columbia Series in International and Global History, to this reviewer\u2019s mind at least, is one of the most original history publishing series going and Sachsenmaier\u2019s short yet ambitious volume is a worthy addition. . . . Global Entanglements<\/em> is an interesting and pleasurable read, dealing with highly complicated historical themes and doing so admirably. R. J. W. Mills, The Seventeenth Century<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Besides offering a timely and rich re-contextualization of the scholarship on the intersection of late Ming China and the Jesuit missions to the Far East, Sachsenmaier\u2019s book is, quite simply, a joy to read. Mario Cams, Ming Studies<\/strong><\/p>\n
