A Spanish Dominican in Modern China: Manuel Prat Pujoldevall and His Mission

A Spanish Dominican in Modern China: Manuel Prat Pujoldevall and His Mission reveals that the long-term success of cross-cultural missionary work hinges on balancing religious commitment with culturally adapted management. The study, led by Huang (2025), examines Prat’s pragmatic strategies for governance, cultural adaptation, and resource allocation in early 20th-century Xiamen, including the Kulangsu International Settlement. By analyzing primary archival records and historical sources, the research highlights how Prat navigated the complexities of local community dynamics while addressing challenges posed by shifting political and social conditions. This work contributes to broader discussions on the interplay between faith and culture in historically complex contexts.
