Although this phenomenon is universal, it is also particular in its manifestations. Hence, we need to understand and include those particularities in order to trace how slavery has developed over time in different geographic spaces. In this introduction, I reflect on the factors that likely contributed to slavery’s widespread invisibility in early modern Asia. I consider the potential impact of Asia’s invisibility on global slavery studies and suggest how Asian particularities could inform global slavery narratives, especially given the many Asian social practices related to slavery and the multiplicity of terms across linguistic and cultural contexts. It was in the early modern era that slavery in East, Inner, and Southeast Asia became connected with the expansion of the European empires.1 Although it is possible to identify significant records of Asian communities in Lisbon, Seville, Mexico City, and Lima as early as the sixteenth century, the massive presence of enslaved Africans in Western societies simply eclipses this presence. Consequently, early modern Asian slavery and its connections with the West are often understood as a field of study remote or even separate from modern social tensions inherited from the transatlantic slave trade. Although historians specializing in slavery know of and recognize the existence of the practice in early modern Asia, the overwhelming focus on the","PeriodicalId":29948,"journal":{"name":"HARVARD JOURNAL OF ASIATIC STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48424115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Depicted as a highly exploitative mode of labor coercion, it has nonetheless been radically differentiated from slavery. In this article, I explore how nubi were conceptualized in late imperial China through the lens of lineages’ domestic regulations and admonitions. Nubi bondage was first and foremost a living experience of strong asymmetric dependency. However, as a de jure institution, its conceptual and normative dimensions do matter as they justified the enslavement of human beings and contributed to shaping household practices. Domestic regulations reveal a process that transformed outsiders into absolute inferiors. This consideration alone is an incentive to reconsider the alleged disqualification of nubi as a form of “slavery” and to engage broader comparisons with slavery in a more global perspective.摘要:本文旨在提出重新評價明清時期奴婢現象的必要性。依照學界較少使用的家訓和族規,作者闡明了通常所說的奴婢制度不僅僅是一種家庭服役的形式。認識到明清中國社會存在奴隸的這一現象將無疑使歷史學家們能更好地分析近代中國與全球人口買賣之間的複雜關係。","PeriodicalId":29948,"journal":{"name":"HARVARD JOURNAL OF ASIATIC STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43961687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At that moment, Ângela moved from one part of a loosely integrated global market to another, crossing linguistic and cultural boundaries that shaped both her legal status and lived experience. This move was facilitated by fundamental similarities in the ways human beings were commodified in the Iberian world and early Qing China, which were in turn undergirded by overlapping ideas about degraded status and loosely equivalent customs surrounding property and contracts. As a contribution to the global history of early modern slavery, this article makes extensive use of both Chinese and Western sources to explore the limits of such commensurability and what it might have meant for Chinese women like Ângela who were sold in Macau.摘要:1672 年,一位十八歲的中國女子被賣予澳門葡萄牙商人為奴,從跨越語言文化的中國邊界到達地球的另一邊的伊比利亞世界,但兩處對以人類為財產的概念與習慣卻有着不少相似之處。本文將利用中外史料探討這種相似性的局限,以更進一步了解當時被賣奴隸的人生。","PeriodicalId":29948,"journal":{"name":"HARVARD JOURNAL OF ASIATIC STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46324006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pacey has a specific and carefully chosen niche: Buddhism and Christianity in Taiwan between 1955 and 1975. Although all Christian missionaries left the People’s Republic of China after 1949, interfaith engagement continued in Taiwan under the Nationalist regime (Guomindang 國民黨, KMT). Pacey states that his primary interest is to write a historiography of religion in context. His book examines “how contact with Christianity led certain Buddhists to reassess their identity within an overarching normative framework of values dominated by the KMT” (p. 53). And it explores “the idea that religious identity is . . . also a selfrepresentation that emerges in the process of interfaith competition with reference to particular external values” (p. 53). In his conclusion chapter, Pacey recaps that “religious identity grows not only out of religious values and beliefs, but within a context of interfaith competition, power-relations, and the aspiration towards external value-sets” (p. 214). Buddhism in Taiwan, Pacey writes, “thus bears the imprint of its engagement with Christianity in the middle of the twentieth century”: the influence of Christianity is “seen in contemporary Buddhist selfconceptualizations, as well as the Buddhist hospitals, universities, and media—of today” (p. 15). Pacey writes about a “small and inter-connected group of Buddhist figures” (p. 51) influenced by Taixu 太虛 (1890–1974), including Yinshun 印順 (1906–2005), Zhuyun 煮雲 (1919–1986), Dongchu 東初","PeriodicalId":29948,"journal":{"name":"HARVARD JOURNAL OF ASIATIC STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41647221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Imjin waeran 壬辰倭亂, 1592–1598), ravaged Korea. Japanese troops abducted twenty to one hundred thousand or more Koreans to Japan. Although a fraction were repatriated, most abductees lived their lives in slavery in Japan or beyond. I argue that the Japanese abduction of Koreans was an extension of Japanese “pillage and violence” (J. ranbō rōzeki 濫妨狼藉) wartime practices that had emerged during the extended period of civil war during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Moreover, the increase in abductions during the final years of the war derived from Japan’s failing military campaign. The Japanese abduction and treatment of Koreans reflects the slavery and human-trafficking practices that were still robust in Japanese society during the early seventeenth century.초록:임란에서 일본군은 2만에서 10만 혹은 그 이상으로 추산되는 조선인을 노 획물로 납치했다. 조선인의 대량 납치는 일본 전국시대의 약탈 관행과 실패로 끝나가는 침략 전쟁에의 좌절 그리고 보상 심리에 연유했다. 조선인은 납치된 후 일본사회의 만연한 노예 노동 및 인신매매의 희생물이 되었다.","PeriodicalId":29948,"journal":{"name":"HARVARD JOURNAL OF ASIATIC STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44349586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Settler colonialism in Taiwan was multidimensional and complicated: the pineapple and coffee industries cannot represent the whole picture. Despite some of my reservations about the theorization of settler colonialism in Japanese imperial territories, In Search of Our Frontier is undoubtedly an important work for students and scholars of Asian American studies, migration, and modern Japanese history. I would also recommend this book for students of US history, even for those with little interest in Japanese history. In successfully presenting the trans-Pacific history between the US and the Japanese empire, Azuma’s book offers a platform for interdisciplinary dialogue among scholars from a variety of academic backgrounds. It potentially opens up a new path in the study of Japanese American history.","PeriodicalId":29948,"journal":{"name":"HARVARD JOURNAL OF ASIATIC STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46749178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
