Beyond the Pass

Autorentext
James Millward is Assistant Professor of History at Georgetown University. This is a much-revised version of his 1993 Stanford doctoral dissertation. He has previously published two articles in scholarly journals and a chapter in our recent multi-author work Remapping China.

Klappentext
Beyond the Pass examines the fiscal and ethnic policies that underlay Qing imperial control over Xinjiang, a Central Asian region that now comprises the westernmost sixth of the People's Republic of China. By focusing on a region of the Qing empire beyond the borders of China proper, and by treating the empire not as a Chinese dynasty but in its broader context as an Inner Asian political entity, this innovative study fills a gap in Western-language historiography of late imperial China.

Zusammenfassung
This book examines the fiscal and ethnic policies of the Qing empire in a region that constitutes the westernmost sixth of the People's Republic of China, showing how policies changed as a result of declining dynastic resources and the growing importance of Chinese merchants on the frontier.
