- Summary:
- Tracing the little-known history of the first underground Catholic church in China, Mungello illuminates the century between the imperial expulsion of missionaries in 1724 and their return with European colonialism in the 1800s. This time of persecution offered the first opportunity for the Chinese, rather than Europeans, to control their own church.
