Abstract
This wide-ranging and often thought-provoking conversation takes us beyond Frank Dikötter’s record of publication in the field of modern Chinese history to look more at the personal experience and background that has shaped his work—his fascination with language, his lack of a “mother tongue,” his permanent status as a foreigner, his accidental encounter with the China field, his views on a host of topics, ranging from the issue of agency, evidence-driven history, archival research, historical memory, the nature of the humanities and the responsibility of the historian to the key driving values of our modern world.
