Exploring the simultaneous emergence of a new print culture and a new culture of politics in early-twentieth-century China, the book treats Shibao as both institution and text and demonstrates how the journalists who wrote for the paper attempted to stake out a middle realm of discourse and practice. Chronicling the role these journalists played in educational and constitutional organizations, as well as their involvement in major issues of the day, it analyzes their essays as political documents and as cultural artifacts. Particular attention is paid to the language the journalists used, the cultural constructs they employed to structure their arguments, and the multiple sources of authority they appealed to in advancing their claims for reform.

Considering the panoply of topics that concerned his acute intellect, Arif identified two issues he deemed most important for the present state of humanity: an historical understanding of the construct of “China” and the legacy of the French Enlightenment. Other problems, as he saw it, depended on getting these two multifaceted and far-reaching cases of contested history right. Critical analysis employed in this exploration would by extension connect with and continue to animate current debates on race, environment, and democracy. In a concluding thought experiment intended to spin his theoretical history approach into future scholarship and activism, Dirlik explored the complexities of class and racism in a series of incidents from late Qing dynasty/US relations.

Within extensive cross-continental networks of diplomatic and commercial activity, Ilkhanid Buddhism and the Buddhist revival of which it was a part drew serious attention among contemporary travelers, scholars, and statesmen including Ibn Taymiyah, Roger Bacon, and Rashid al-Din. This article argues that awareness of a Buddhist scholarly and political elite in the Muslim heartland, with its center at Tabriz, generated a historically significant Eurasian Buddhist discourse during a critical passage in the turn to modernity.

The peasant women who first articulated the demands of this protest against nationally sponsored county-level fiscal and administrative reforms were unmarried cotton weavers who belonged to a lay Buddhist Vegetarian sect. Their protest, which eventually mobilized the support of other villagers adversely affected by the reforms, was designed to protect the women Vegetarians’ economic and residential independence during a period of state-building when political reform encouraged county-elite encroachment on the resources of politically less influential social groups. The following discussion uses the Chuansha case with its focus on rural conditions in the final years of China’s last imperial dynasty to
