"This book provides a wide-ranging display of the ways in which 'cosmopolitanism' has meaning in China, c. 1600-c. 1900 and how these possibilities were reduced subsequently.

It throws into relief the special character of cosmopolitanisms in Europe, South Asia and other parts of the world and thus begins the task of building a true cosmopolitanism for the planet." -PRASENJIT DUARA, Oscar Tang Professor of East Asian Studies, Duke University For more information, see http: //... This book is in the Cambria Sinophone World Series, headed by Victor Mair (University of Pennsylvania).
