ISBN: 9780742553958.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1900, China chose to take on imperialism by fighting a war with the world on the parched north China plain. This multi-disciplinary volume explores the causes behind what is now known as the Boxer war, examining its particular cruelties and its impact on China, foreign imperialism in China, and on the foreign imagination. The Boxers have often been represented as a force from Chinas past, resisting an enforced modernity. Here, expert contributors argue that this rebellion was instead a wholly modern resistance to globalizing power, representing new trends in modern China and in international relations. This volume will appeal to readers interested in modern Chinese, East Asian, and European history as well as the history of imperialism, colonialism, warfare, missionary work, and Christianity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45119042289717,"sku":"ByrdShop_0742553957","price":73.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780742553958_7b830e88-298d-488c-a94c-6daf22c81d20.jpg?v=1777027144","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-boxers-china-and-the-world-9780742553958","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
