James H. Carter <jcarter@sju.edu> Saint Joseph's University I am currently working on two projects. One concerns the role of Confucianism in the creation of national identity and nationalism in Manchukuo, and on the relationship between these issues and collaboration and resistance of local Chinese officials during this era. The second project is a book on the life and career of Tan Xu, a Buddhist monk active in Northeast and East China from the 1920s through the 1960s. This book focuses on the relationship between Buddhism and Chinese nationalism during this time by analyzing the links between Tan Xu's temple building in colonial and semi-colonial settings like Harbin, Qingdao, Yingkou and Hong Kong, and his Buddhist practice. |
