This chapter observes that in contrast to the one-China conception in dominance now, regionalism was a key theme of early Republican Chinese politics, as there was no stable central Chinese government until Chiang Kai-shek led the Northern Expedition in 1926. It notes that the southern provinces, largely out of reach of Qing imperial control, could be used by various forces as testing grounds for new projects such as reformist experiments in building Western-style institutions and the revolutionary mobilization of migrants returned from overseas. In this regard, the southern provinces were the place where different political forces sought support from foreign powers. It notes that in contrast, the northern provinces fell under the control of traditional imperial bureaucrats and, therefore, remained relatively uncontested in cultural and political terms. It adds that the Republican Revolution of 1911 elevated the political status of the southern provinces, signaling the rise of southern influence.Less

This chapter discusses the Mesozoic fossil discoveries in the southern provinces of California. The Transverse Ranges Province is the site of discovery of the partial remains of two elasmosaurid plesiosaurs. To the east of the Transverse Ranges Province lies the Mojave Desert Province, where dinosaur footprints and trackways were discovered in the Early Jurassic Aztec Sandstone of San Bernardino County. In the Peninsular Ranges Province of Alta California, reptilian remains have been found in coastal areas in both Orange County and San Diego County, in the Mesozoic marine rocks between the Santa Ana Mountains and the Pacific Ocean.Less

This chapter examines the early establishment of Anglican Christianity in Central and South America in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, through Church of England chaplaincies, the South American Missionary Society, and early American missionary activity. It traces the work of Evangelical missionaries among native peoples and the complex emergence in the twentieth century of autonomous churches in the Spanish-speaking Caribbean, the Central Region of America, Mexico, Brazil, and the Southern Cone of South America. It examines the emergence of a nascent Latin American identity among Anglicans as well as the effects of racism, widespread military dictatorships, liberation theology, and globalization on the inculturation of Anglicanism in Latin American contexts.Less
