- This 242-page monograph is the culmination of four decades of reflection and scholarship, and ten years of in-country research. Drawing on sources in Chinese, French, Spanish and English, the book examines the imagining of "China" by the West from the 16th century through to the construction of China-the-nation-state, or Zhongguo中國, in the domains of society, language and culture from the late nineteenth-century decline of the Manchu Qing state up to the twenty-first century.
