Inhoud:

In this well-crafted study of the relationships between the state and its borderlands, Leo Shin traces the roots of China's ethnic configurations to the Ming dynasty. Shin argues that the categorisation of borderland 'non-Chinese' populations was facilitated by the political interests of the state and the settlers' economic needs.
