    Susan Naquin, Evelyn S RawskiBOOKAnti-Marcos Struggle2017

In this book Mark Thompson analyzes how Marcos' opponents in the political and economic elite coped with this situation and why their struggle resulted in a transition t…

  • Wensheng Wang. White Lotus Rebels and South China Pirates

    Susan NaquinARTICLEThe American Historical Review2014

    It has been an enduring cliché of modern Chinese history that 1800 was the tipping point between the growth and prosperity of the eighteenth century and the Qing dynasty's decline and collapse in 1911. Long-term trends and enduring structural problems had exacerbated crises that were badly managed because of weakness at the center (aged emperor, corrupt favorite, debilitating factionalism), and the nineteenth-century opium wars, mid-century rebel…

    Susan NaquinARTICLECahiers d Extrême-Asie1998

    Depuis la fin des Ming, le monastère Tanzhe, dans les montagnes à l'ouest de Pékin, jouit parmi les résidents et visiteurs de la capitale d'une réputation de lieu saint, ancien et attrayant. Pour montrer comment des sites religieux ont pu établir et garder une notoriété locale, sans être centres de pèlerinage fameux, cette enquête considère l'évolution du monastère Tanzhe du XVIIe au XXe siècle. Elle porte notamment sur le rôle des dieux, des sai…
