| Summary |
Drawing on the remarkable personal archive of a French Catholic missionary, Alfred Marie Caubrière (1876-1948), At the Frontier of God's Empire examines Manchuria during the tumultuous early twentieth century. With vivid vignettes illustrating everyday interaction between indigenous Chinese people and international players, each story and record personalizes the Catholic Church's expansion in East Asia, the interplay of missions and empire, the intense transformation of Chinese local society, and their profound consequences in the making of modern China |
