Re-building Local Sovereignty in Late-Qing China: Li Hongzhang, Christianity, and the Disestablishment of Religion at the Village Level

September 30, 2011 4:00pm to 6:00pm
Where
The speaker will examine China's effort to control Western influence in rural China from 1860 to 1911. Drawing on archival and published sources, and using a comparative historical framework, he will trace the Chinese effort to disestablish Christianity in rural China. This effort, which continued after the Boxer Uprising, was joined with the Qing government's attempt to disassociate the state from local religiosity.
