Global Entanglements of a Man Who Never Traveled - A Seventeenth-Century Chinese Christian and His Conflicted Worlds

The seventeenth-century Chinese Christian convert Zhu Zongyuan likely never left his home province, yet led a remarkably global life through scholarly activities and globalizing Catholicism. Dominic Sachsenmaier explores the mid-seventeenth-century world through the lens of Zhu's life, combining the local, regional, and global.

Dominic Sachsenmaier is Chair Professor of Modern China with an Emphasis on Global Historical Perspectives at the Department of East Asian Studies and History at the University of Göttingen. He is the author of Global Perspectives on Global History: Theories and Approaches in a Connected World (2011) and an editor of the Columbia University Press series Columbia Studies in International and Global History.
