Summary

"James Hevia persuasively suggests a whole new way of viewing not just the Macartney embassy but the entire subject of Sino-Western interaction from the eighteenth century to the present. "Cherishing Men from Afar "deserves to be read by the widest spectrum of historians."--Paul A. Cohen, John King Fairbank Center for East Asian Research, Harvard University
