What one used to consider unique to one culture may turn out to be not so unique, and vice versa. This is not to say that the author has reached any definitive conclusion or exhausted every possible explanation in the comparison between Egypt and China. Experts on each side of the comparison could certainly raise numerous quibbles about the details of facts and question the appropriateness of particular comparisons. Yet the purpose of review for these kind of books is to identify the major contributions of the author, pointing out the possible future direction of research that the book may initiate. The author has effectively demonstrated that meaningful comparison between different cultures can be done as long as one follows a principle, in this case structural similarities in cultural-historical developments, and, of course, done enough work on both sides. To compare an apple with an orange could indeed be fruitful, as new appreciation of the taste of each could, when one cuts into the fruit, emerge from a comparison. Where or in what direction should students who are interested in doing comparative work go? I would suggest that comparison for the sake of comparison would not do. There needs to be a genuine interest and passion in seeing humanity as a whole, and different historical traditions as variations of a central theme. If human beings belong to one species, what is the meaning of similarities and differences that we observe, and how should we as students of humanity position ourselves when equipped with some understanding derived from comparison? Professor Barbieri-Low’s new book certainly provides numerous clues to the possible answer to this question, and further elaborations should be encouraged.","PeriodicalId":15316,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese History","volume":"6 1","pages":"148 - 150"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42740268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

And what of pan-Asianism in the larger discourse of sovereignty? At times, Carrai seems to accept that modern international law is amoral, or at least less moral than premodern cosmologies, but this is a position that needs better grounding. This work, erudite though it is, also suffers from some odd declarations. For example, “the emperor was in charge of both Heavenly and earthly affairs” (36). It is basically misleading to consider Kang Youwei a Darwinist (99). “The idea of self-determination drove the 1919 Paris Peace Conference after the First World War” (112). “Over the past thirty years, sovereignty, the principle of noninterference, and relations between state and individual have gradually transformed to favor individuals and their rights” (183)—maybe so, but I wonder. The title of Zhang Zhidong’s treatise should be translated as Exhortation to Learning (82). Some of the romanization is inaccurate; particularly annoying are repeated references to the “Sino-Meji War” for the First Sino-Japanese (Meiji) War, and it is unfortunate that Cambridge University Press did not use a better qualified copy-editor. Notwithstanding the quibbles above, this book should be read by historians, political scientists, and diplomats alike. Looking back over China’s century of pursuing national sovereignty, Carrai rightly warns us not to try to match Chinese concepts exactly onto Western ones and that indeed imperial conceptions remain relevant.","PeriodicalId":15316,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese History","volume":"6 1","pages":"150 - 152"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43298605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
