Cosmopolitanisms in China’s Eurasian history
International audience
What keeps the Kitans enigmatic
Since 1930s scholarship, the historiography of Kitan Liao has increasingly interpreted ethnicity as a factor in polity and policy, an interpretation that has depended upon retrospective constructions of Liao and Jin by, largely, the Qing imperial court of the eighteenth century. Archaeological evidence now demonstrates that the documentation itself was fragmentary and in all likelihood unrepresentative of the identity concepts that prevailed at v…
The Cambridge History of Nationhood and Nationalism
This major new reference work with contributions from an international team of scholars provides a comprehensive account of ideas and practices of nationhood and nationalism from antiquity to the present. It considers both continuities and discontinuities, engaging critically and analytically with the scholarly literature in the field. Volume I starts with a series of case studies of classical civilizations. It then explores a wide range of pivot…
“Mongol” and “Manchu” and the Great Conquest Enterprises of Eurasia, 1200–1800
Volume 1 of The Cambridge History of Global Migrations documents the lives and experiences of everyday people through the lens of human movement and mobility from 1400 to 1800. Focusing on the most important typologies of preindustrial global migrations, this volume reveals how these movements transformed global paths of mobility, the impacts of which we still see in societies today. Case studies include those that arose from the demand for free,…

Why Do Expectations Persist that Global History Should Be History
Historians seem to have difficulty accepting that “global history” is not historiography but is historical sociology. Since the discourse of global history as historical sociology is long and prominent, this difficulty is a problem in itself. This essay suggests possible explanations, and proposes that theorising in “global history” is not waning, but it may be moving towards liberation from its deep and exclusive roots in European and North Amer…
On the Edge of Empires
A new history of a border zone between Russia and China shows how traders from across Siberia and Mongolia operated under the shadow of competing empires and their railroads
China Normal
Comparative historians have illuminated the weaknesses in the Europe-derived and Europe-centred historical paradigms of the preceding century-and-a-half, while questioning the factual foundations and depth of Europe's development towards capitalism, imperialism, and industrialism. But a continental perspective on China's early modern development suggests the possibilities of a vicinage—or integrated environment—approach to China's development and…
Empire at the Margins
Focusing on the Ming (1368-1644) and (especially) the Qing (1364-1912) eras, this book analyzes crucial moments in the formation of cultural, regional, and religious identities. The contributors examine the role of the state in a variety of environments on China's "peripheries," paying attention to shifts in law, trade, social stratification, and cultural dialogue. They find that local communities were critical participants in the shaping of thei…
Hammer and Anvil
This groundbreaking book examines the role of rulers with nomadic roots in transforming the great societies of Eurasia, especially from the thirteenth to sixteenth centuries. Distinguished historian Pamela Kyle Crossley, drawing on the long history of nomadic confrontation with Eurasia’s densely populated civilizations, argues that the distinctive changes we associate with modernity were founded on vernacular literature and arts, rising literacy,…

The Imaginal Bond of “Empire” and “Civilization” in Eurasian History
The ecologies of presence of what we call ancient or medieval empires were profoundly different from those of modern empires. Practical problems of distance and social penetration suggest that early hegemony was a matter of military visibility and the maintenance of economic networks that could rivet the loyalty of local elites, not of cultural emanation from imperial centers. The illusory coherence of earlier empires was largely the creation of …
Post-Mongol States and Early Modern Chronology in Iran and China
In the aftermath of the Mongol occupations of the largest and most populous societies of Eurasia, greater visibility of popular religion, more widespread vernacular language use, rising literacy, and fundamental shifts in the structure of rulership and the relationship of state and society could all be observed. Many historians have related these changes to a broader chronology of early modernity. This has been problematic in the case of Iran, wh…
Bohai/Parhae Identity and the Coherence of Dan gur under the Kitan/Liao Empire
The Liao shi [Liaoshi] (遼史) suggests that in 926 the Liao empire destroyed the state of Bohai, and afterward forced the Bohai people into servitude and resettlement across the empire. Modern archaeology together with epigraphical sources in the Kitan language confirm some of this narrative, but suggest a far more complicated story. Researches by scholars such as Aisingioro Ulhicun, Yoshimoto Michimasa, Im Sangsŏn, Sawamoto Mitsuhiro and Wang Shan…

Slavery in Early Modern China
China's social history offers vivid confirmation of the insights of David Brion Davis, Orlando Patterson, Eric Foner, and others that the existence of an ancient, stable, conceptually absolute institution of "slavery" is a powerful impetus to the production of an equally absolute conception of "freedom." Although a wide spectrum of unfree labor, dependency, and coercion is discernible in Asian history generally and in China particularly, there is…

Pluralité impériale et identités subjectives dans la Chine des Qing
La pluralité de l'empire des Qing se manifestait à la fois dans les rituels de l'empereur, sa cour, ses histoires et ses monuments et dans la construction historique des cultures dont l'empire tirait sa légitimation. Le résultat fut, à la fin du XVIIIesiècle, l'objectivation par les textes et les rituels d'un nombre fini d'identités historiques, correspondant d'abord aux cultures qui avaient été instrumentalisées dans les conquêtes des Qing de 16…

A Profile of The Manchu Language in Ch'ing History
Manzhou yuanliu kao and the Formalization of the Manchu Heritage
During the Qianlong period (1736-95) in China, knowledge of Manchu origins, much of which had been of a folk or informal character, was given documentary institutionalization-that is, incorporation into the Qing (1636-1912) imperial cultural mosaic by the act of writing something official about it. Much but by no means all of Manchu civilization was derived from Jurchen culture (tenth-seventeenth centuries), which was primarily a folk culture in …

A Translucent MirrorHistory and Identity in Qing Imperial Ideology
In this landmark exploration of the origins of nationalism and cultural identity in China, the author traces the ways in which a large, early modern empire of Eurasia, the Qing (1636–1912), incorporated neighboring, but disparate, political traditions into a new style of emperorship. Drawing on a wide variety of primary sources, including Manchu, Korean, and Chinese archival materials, she argues that distortions introduced in seventeenth- and ei…
