Born into a low-level literati family in the port city of Ningbo, the seventeenth-century Chinese Christian convert Zhu Zongyuan likely never left his home province. Yet Zhu nonetheless led a remarkably globally connected life. His relations with the outside world, ranging from scholarly activities to involvement with globalizing Catholicism, put him in contact with a complexand contradictoryset of foreign and domestic forces.
In Global Entanglements of a Man Who Never Traveled, Dominic Sachsenmaier explores the mid-seventeenth-century world and the worldwide flows of ideas through the lens of Zhus life, combining the local, regional, and global. Taking particular aspects of Zhus multiple belongings as a starting point, Sachsenmaier analyzes the contexts that framed his worlds as he balanced a local life and his border-crossing faith. At the local level, the book pays attention to the intellectual, political, and social environments of late Ming and early...

GLOBAL ENTANGLEMENTS OF A MAN WHO NEVER TRAVELED

COLUMBIA STUDIES IN INTERNATIONAL AND GLOBAL HISTORY

COLUMBIA STUDIES IN INTERNATIONAL AND GLOBAL HISTORY

Cemil Aydin, Timothy Nunan, and Dominic Sachsenmaier, Series Editors

This series presents some of the finest and most innovative work coming out of the current landscapes of international and global historical scholarship. Grounded in empirical research, these titles transcend the usual area boundaries and address how history can help us understand contemporary problems, including poverty, inequality, power, political violence, and accountability beyond the nation-state. The series covers processes of flows, exchanges, and entanglementsand moments of blockage, friction, and fracturenot only between the West and the Rest but also among parts of what has variously been dubbed the Third World or the Global South. Scholarship in international and global history remains indispensable for a better sense of current complex regional and global economic transformations. Such approaches are vital in understanding the making of our present world.

CONTENTS

I t was several years ago that I first thought of studying an untraveled man from a combination of microscopic and macroscopic perspectives. Like many research monographs, this book emerged over a number of years, along with other projects. As a member of an academic environment whose members have all kinds of responsibilities (many of which are probably as global and local as those affecting Zhu Zongyuan, the focal point of this book), I would hardly have been able to complete this work without grants of extra time. I already used parts of a 2010 sabbatical leave from Duke University (funded by the German National Research Foundation) to start conceptualizing this book. More recently, a program sponsored by an Academy of Korean Studies Grant funded by the Korean government (AKS-2010-DZZ-3103) allowed me a sabbatical leave from Jacobs University for the academic year of 2014/2015. In addition to that, the University of Gttingen, where I became a professor in 2015, granted me an early sabbatical semester in 2017, during which I was able to complete this project.

In addition to the extra time, this manuscript could not have been completed without the great support of a number of people. They include Joy Titheridge, a highly skilled translator (German-English) as well as Jin Yan and Fang Ruobing, who supported my research into specific areas of late Ming and early Qing history. Zhang Xiaogeng and Wang Hui did much bibliographic work for this book, working with texts in Chinese and in Western languages. The same is true for Christoph Zimmer, whoalong with Luisa Flarup, Cassjopeya Nolte, and Thalea Noltewas more than reliable in formatting the text and making it ready for publication. I particularly want to thank them for helping me in the last stages of this project, when there was much formatting to do and little time left in which to do it. Martha Schulman copyedited the entire text, and I deeply appreciate her corrections, changes, and insightful comments. All this support did very much to improve the text.

Many colleagues and friends contributed to this book, whether directly or indirectly. In addition to reading a wide spectrum of inspiring studies, I had many conversations on aspects of this project with scholars from a range of fields. They not only helped me further develop my research framework but also increased my understanding of various research areas that proved relevant to the book. These scholars include Roger Ames (University of Hawaii at Mnoa), Sven Beckert (Harvard University), Jerry Bentley (University of Hawaii at Mnoa), Liam Brockey (Michigan State University), Kenneth Dean (National University of Singapore), Kent Deng (London School of Economics), Prasenjit Duara (Duke University), Marian Fssel (University of Gttingen), Franois Gipouloux (Centre national de la recherche scientifique), Ronnie Po-chia Hsia (Pennsylvania State University), Hsiung Ping-chen (Chinese University of Hong Kong), Mark Juergensmeyer (University of California, Santa Barbara), Eugenio Menegon (Boston University), Jrgen Osterhammel (University of Konstanz), Martin Powers (University of Michigan), Wolfgang Reinhard (University of Freiburg), Axel Schneider (University of Gttingen), Nicolas Standaert (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven), Sanjay Subrahmanyam (University of California, Los Angeles), Sun Yue (Capital Normal University), Peter van der Veer (Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity), Wang Hui (Tsinghua University), and Zhang Xupeng (Chinese Academy of Social Sciences).

Some colleagues read parts of my manuscript and provided me with invaluable feedback and further suggestions. My special thanks go to Sebastian Conrad (Free University of Berlin), Fan Xin (State University of New York, Fredonia), and Wang Jingfeng (Shanghai Jiaotong University). I am also very grateful to the graduate students at the University of Gttingen who discussed some of these materials in class, a process that I experienced as a rewarding and stimulating congruence between research and teaching. All this support from members of the academic community shows that even if it is written alone, a historical monograph is the product of much interaction and outside stimulus. Its completion depends on the flow of ideas, perspectives, discussions, on controversiesand, not least, on inspiration and encouragement. I thus owe much gratitude to many scholars and students from around the worldat the same time, of course, I remain solely responsible for any erroneous statements that may be found in this book.
