H-ASIA Mar 16 2011 New member publication: The Religious Question in Modern China ************************************************** From: David A Palmer <palmer19@hku.hk> Here it is -- please format as required. Thanks! Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to announce the release of our new book: _The Religious Question in Modern China_ University of Chicago Press, 2011, 464 p. ISBN: 9780226304168 http://www.press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/R/bo10327095.html This book offers a new synthesis of the religious changes in the Chinese world from the end of the 19th century to the present. Covering all religious traditions and political entities in the Chinese world, it combines historical and anthropological approaches to explain the current religious situation, and places China's "religious question" at the centre stage of China's transformation in modern and contemporary times. Chinese and French versions are currently being prepared. Best regards, Vincent Goossaert (Groupe Sociétés, Religions, Laïcités, CNRS/EPHE) David A.
