> I am currently working on the history of the American Protestant Episcopal
> Mission in Shanghai, China. In the process, not only am I learning a great
> deal about the everyday life of Chinese in and surrounding Shanghai, I am
> also finding fascinating insights through the mostly young but well
> educated American missionaries. These personal and contemporary
> experiences can be missing from traditional text approaches.
>
> One thing that has emerged along the way is the almost totally unknown
> story of the attempt of the Episcopal Church to evangelise Chinese
> immigrants in the early 1850s, not only in California, but initially in
> New York involving many American business men whose names are rarely
> linked to their religious values. I plan to have a working paper on this
> topic online in a month or two.
>
> Members may recall that I have recently been trying to track travels
> inland from Shanghai for a distance of around 100 miles at a time when the
> foreigners were supposedly locked into the treaty port of Shanghai. That
> small task, (readily undertaken by any undergraduate as well as others)
> has demonstrated, conclusively, that the supposed travel freedoms granted
> by the Chinese Government in the Treaty of Tientsin were already available
> as most magistrates made their own decisions about managing adventurous
> foreigners. I had already noted the same pattern in Fujian Province, when
> researching the English Anglicans.
>
> I have been engrossed, more recently, in the reports of American
> missionaries who were on board the American ships that visited Nagasaki in
> the wake of the Perry "opening" of Japan. Their descriptions of Japanese
> officials and the general life of people in Nagasaki provide further
> insights into the relationships of foreigners with the Japanese and
> particularly the dislike of Christianity that dated back more than two
> hundred years to the murders of Catholic Christians in that part of Japan.
>
> All this may seem a bit esoteric, but my point is that my information,
> running into literally thousands of pages, is coming entirely from digital
> sources in the United States with some other very valued assistance from
> librarians, archivists and historians in the US and Australia. I stress
> that much of this material does not seem to have been worked by historians
> as it was taken by and large, almost inaccessible.
>
> I appreciate that Mr. Zulkarnain's inquiry is probably focussed on digital
> material from within Asia, presumably written by Asians for Asians, but if
> we are talking more generally in the context of virtual world cultures,
> the amount of material coming online, daily, across Asia as well as
> elsewhere, is growing faster than many of us realise, especially academic
> teachers wedded to conventional texts in undergraduate teaching.
>
> I believe reading, at online, details of the meeting of East with East, as
> well as East with West, can transform undergraduate learning and make the
> whole experience exciting for students who are frustrated by traditional
> textbooks and much conventional teaching practice.
>
> The tendency to serve up well cooked stew in a traditional academic
> curricula in the humanities and social sciences is long past due date. It
> is time, as I think, to see, as Mr. Zulkermain's request envisages,
> getting u/g students into a solid meal as quickly as possible.
>
> The serious, dramatic, and troubling worldwide decline in student
> enrolments in the humanities and social sciences is surely linked to the

> ***********

> Some list members may be interested in my recently published book:
>
> Sui-Tang China and Its Turko-Mongol Neighbors: Culture, Power, and
> Connections, 580-800, Oxford University Press (Oxford Studies in Early
> Empires)
>
> Description
> Sui-Tang China and Its Turko-Mongol Neighbors challenges readers to
> reconsider China's relations with the rest of Eurasia. Investigating
> interstate competition and cooperation between the successive Sui and Tang
> dynasties and Turkic states of Mongolia from 580 to 800, Jonathan Skaff
> upends the notion that inhabitants of China and Mongolia were
> irreconcilably different and hostile to each other. Rulers on both sides
> deployed strikingly similar diplomacy, warfare, ideologies of rulership,
> and patrimonial political networking to seek hegemony over each other and
> the peoples living in the pastoral borderlands between them. The book
> particularly disputes the supposed uniqueness of imperial China's
> tributary diplomacy by demonstrating that similar customary norms of
> interstate relations existed in a wide sphere in Eurasia as far west as
> Byzantium, India, and Iran. These previously unrecognized cultural
> connections, therefore, were arguably as much the work of Turko-Mongol
> pastoral nomads traversing the Eurasian steppe as the more commonly
> recognized Silk Road monks and merchants. This interdisciplinary and
> multi-perspective study will appeal to readers of comparative and world
> history, especially those interested in medieval warfare, diplomacy, and
> cultural studies.

> Member publication on Sui-Tang China's relations with Eurasia
> ***********
> From: Skaff, Jonathan [JKSkaf@ship.edu]
>
> Some list members may be interested in my recently published book:
>
> Sui-Tang China and Its Turko-Mongol Neighbors: Culture, Power, and
> Connections, 580-800, Oxford University Press (Oxford Studies in Early
> Empires)
>
> Description
> Sui-Tang China and Its Turko-Mongol Neighbors challenges readers to
> reconsider China's relations with the rest of Eurasia. Investigating
> interstate competition and cooperation between the successive Sui and Tang
> dynasties and Turkic states of Mongolia from 580 to 800, Jonathan Skaff
> upends the notion that inhabitants of China and Mongolia were
> irreconcilably different and hostile to each other. Rulers on both sides
> deployed strikingly similar diplomacy, warfare, ideologies of rulership,
> and patrimonial political networking to seek hegemony over each other and
> the peoples living in the pastoral borderlands between them. The book
> particularly disputes the supposed uniqueness of imperial China's
> tributary diplomacy by demonstrating that similar customary norms of
> interstate relations existed in a wide sphere in Eurasia as far west as
> Byzantium, India, and Iran. These previously unrecognized cultural
> connections, therefore, were arguably as much the work of Turko-Mongol
> pastoral nomads traversing the Eurasian steppe as the more commonly
> recognized Silk Road monks and merchants. This interdisciplinary and
> multi-perspective study will appeal to readers of comparative and world
> history, especially those interested in medieval warfare, diplomacy, and
> cultural studies.
