Was the Taiping Rebellion one of the things you were looking for info on at some point in the recent past? I can't remember. At any rate, I've run across a book that might be of interest, if so: Asian Millenarianism: An Interdisciplinary Study of the Taiping and Tonghak Rebellions in a Global Context by Hong Beom Rhee. ISBN13: 9781934043424, published 28-Aug-07.

(I've just started exploring CAMBER E-Books, a database of ebooks published by Cambria Press that we have access to, and there's several interesting-sounding books here: Alternative Theater in Taiwan: Feminist and Intercultural Approaches, Allegory of Survival: The Theater of Kang-baek Lee (an anthology of modern South Korean plays by Kang-baek Lee translated into English), Asian American Identities: Racial and Ethnic Identity Issues in the Twenty-First Century, The Chinese Émigrés of Thailand in the Twentieth Century, Christianity Online: Response to The Da Vinci Code as Impression Management, Class in Late-Victorian Britain: The Narrative Concern with Social Hierarchy and its Representation, Feminism and Global Chineseness: The Cultural Production of Controversial Women Authors, and so on. (The heavy emphasis on Chinese and other Asian cultures in my list is partly a function of alphabetization and partly a function of personal interests - there's a wide focus in the collection, which seems to cover literature and social sciences.)
