Critical issues in world and international history.
Contents Catholicism and Western imperialism in China -- Spiritual domination by European Catholics in nineteenth-century China -- European resistance to the emergence of an indigenous Catholic church -- Love and hysteria in Catholic orphanages in China -- Sexual domination by Catholic priests in China -- The misreading of the missionary 'debacle' in China
Summary The culmination of Mungello's 40 years of study on Sino-Western history, this book provides a compelling and nuanced history of Catholicism in modern China. In this important work, Mungello corrects a major misreading of Chinese history by arguing that the growth of an indigenous church in the 20th century transformed the negative aspects of the "invasion" into a positive Chinese religious force
