Welcome to a guest lecture on the modern muslim encounter with China.

How in modern times did the Muslims of India and the Middle East understand China? What enabled such inter-Asian understanding? And what were the barriers, and misapprehensions?

This lecture with Nile Green addresses these questions by looking at the century between around 1840 and 1940, when empire, steam, and print brought these different regions of Asia into closer contact than ever before. This richly illustrated lecture draws on his book How Asia Found Herself, which recently won the World History Association鈥檚 Bentley Prize.

Light snacks will be served.
