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.)

I serendipitously met up with you in a cafeteria or food court sort of place (details fuzzy), and in the dream world it seemed we often did manage to run into each other like this from time to time.
As we chatted over our lunches, it came up that we were both enrolled in the same course on "An Introduction Women's Rights and Roles in World History", except you were taking it in person through the college you work at, and I was doing it by correspondence. You encouraged me to switch to the other version of the distance-ed course that actually lined up with the on-campus course rather than the ongoing-intake one, because you knew the prof would be much better and actually defined "World History" as broader than "European and North American since 1500 AD" -- plus we could meet up more often and be study buddies!
Of course it doesn't make sense why I couldn't just enroll in the on-campus class if I lived close enough to run into you at lunch so often, but in the dream it was well established that that wasn't an option because I lived thousands of miles away. :(

But that sounds like an awesome course and I'd totally encourage you to switch to the other version!
* I watched "Animal Extractors" last night, among many other shows. It's about wildlife removal experts, and while they didn't get a skunk this time, they removed an angry badger from someone's yard. :D

Earlier in the summer there was a dog festival in downtown Toronto, and they had one booth that was doing airbrush-stencilled "tattoos" on pale-coloured short-haired dogs, using non-toxic food-colouring based paints or dyes. Alas, our black chow was most definitely not eligible.
