| Summary: | Given the lack of French sources used in existing studies about the history of Chinese Jews, this book utilises the work of French Sinologists and other specialists in Chinese history and philosophy, highlighting that the tendency to suggest that Jewish presence in China began in the 12th century obscures centuries of Jewish history. As such, it offers unique insights into this history, showing that the Jewish presence is almost 3000 years old. The book is enriched by investigations of the Kaifeng community and the different Jewish communities in China, providing accounts of inter-community relations between "original" Chinese Jews and more recently established Jewish communities in China. |
