Icon: Journal of the International Committee for the History of Technology
Volume: 25
Issue: 1
Pages: 122-140
This review essay provides readers of ICON with an overview of recent publications in the history of technology in modern China. It focuses on contributions made by Chinese colleagues, but it also discussed a few selected books by Western scholars. The authors acknowledge the impressive amount of work done in the field, but they also note that most Chinese authors apply a fairly descriptive and internalist methodology. Although many historians of Chinese technology still focus on the Ming and early Qing dynasties (what in Europe is called the Middle Ages or the Early Modern Period), there is a clear tendency toward giving the last two centuries more space.
