Contributors to this volume explore the changing concepts of the social and the economic during a period of fundamental change across Asia. They challenge accepted explanations of how Western knowledge spread through Asia and show how versatile Asian intellectuals were in introducing European concepts and in blending them with local traditions.

Recensioner i media

'sheds new light on fin-de-siecle Asia by uncovering the complex and revolutionary socio-intellectual currents of the age. As such, Schulz-Forberg and his contributors are on the cutting-edge of transnational history.' LSE Review of Books 'This collection of essays by senior and emerging scholars does something unique: in unpacking the historical and cross-cultural meanings of terms such as "society" and "economy" in a variety of non-Western contexts it brings together global history and conceptual history in a way that has never been tried before. I see the volume as opening a new path of historical investigation.' Dipesh Chakrabarty, University of Chicago
