SUMMARY:Prof. Jeffrey Wasserstrom (UC Irvine): “China and the World in 1900: Stories of the Boxers and the First Global War”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThis illustrated lecture\, entitled “China and the World in 1900: Stories of the Boxers and the First Global War\,” revisits the anti-Christian uprising and international invasion that convulsed the Qing Empire during the final year of the nineteenth century\, paying particular attention to the varied ways these events were understood in different places at the time and the diverse kinds of stories that have been told about them since. As different as the world of 1900 is from our own\, especially when it comes to China’s strength now as opposed to weakness then\, we can see in the Boxer uprising and the response by an Allied Army made up of soldiers from Germany\, Japan\, Britain\, the United States and four other nations and empires many intimations of many things to come in the troubled twentieth century that was about to start and in our own anxious age. \nShort bio: \nGENERIC CAPTIONUC Irvine Chancellor’s professor Jeff Wasserstrom is the chair of the department of history as well as an expert on Chinese history and culture.photo : Steve Zylius/UC Irvine Communications Jeffrey Wasserstrom\, who received his master’s from Harvard and his PhD.
