Rezensionen
"Instead of addressing Chinese history through the usual land-based perspective, the city of Quanzhou is envisioned as a space where trade and cultures have created a specific blend that can showcase Quanzhou as a city open to diversities. In this construction, the link between geography, anthropology, economics and history is carefully chartered, allowing us to grasp how this specific blend of Chinese culture, influenced by sea trade and cultural exchanges through oceanic commerce, has been able to develop through centuries. A work one cannot miss when exploring Chinese history and the past and present silk routes narrative."-Dr. Khal Torabully, Franco-Mauritian semiologist, poet, founder of the House of Wisdom (Fez-Granada) and co-author of academic bestseller Coolitude
