Xinjiang and the Modern Chinese State
Xinjiang and the Modern Chinese State
This riveting narrative tracks Xinjiang political history through the Bolshevik revolution, the warlord years, Chinese civil war, and the large-scale Han immigration in the People's Republic of China, as well as the efforts of the exiled Xinjiang government in Taiwan after 1949 to claim the loyalty of Xinjiang refugees.
About the Author
Reviews
"Jacobs explains better than any other previous scholar how the 'empire of nations' that is the modern PRC emerged from the colonial rule of the Qing dynasty and the politics of accommodation of Republican China on the frontiers."—Peter C. Perdue, Cross-Currents: East Asian History and Culture Review
"This nicely conceived, thoroughly researched, thoughtful, and well-written book is a must-read for anyone interested in ethnicity in China."—Journal of Asian Studies
Endorsements
"Adds to our knowledge of the region's history and argues for placing China's ethnically distinct borderlands at the forefront of China's modern history."—Linda Benson, author of China since 1949
"With the publication of Justin M. Jacobs's Xinjiang and the Modern Chinese State, our understanding of the dynamics between Han and non-Han within the late Chinese empire (the Qing / Manchu Dynasty, the Republic of China, and the People's Republic of China) makes a quantum advance in sophistication and precision."—Victor Mair, University of Pennsylvania
