Back Jacket

Over the past thirty years, Sino-Jewish encounters in modern China have increasingly garnered scholarly and popular attention. This volume - the first essay collection to focus exclusively on the transcultural exchange between Ashkenazic Jewry and China - investigates how this exchange of texts and translations, of images and ideas, has enriched both Jewish and Chinese cultures and paved the way for a truly global, inclusive world literature.
