The Black Flags raided their way from southern China into northern
Vietnam, competing during the second half of the nineteenth century
against other armed migrants and uplands communities for the
control of commerce, specifically opium, and natural resources,
such as copper. At the edges of three empires (the Qing empire in
China, the Vietnamese empire governed by the Nguyen dynasty, and,
eventually, French Colonial Vietnam), the Black Flags and their
rivals sustained networks of power and dominance through the
framework of political regimes. This lively history demonstrates
the plasticity of borderlines, the limits of imposed boundaries,
and the flexible division between apolitical banditry and political
rebellion in the borderlands of China and Vietnam. Imperial Bandits
contributes to the ongoing reassessment of borderland areas as
frontiers for state expansion, showing that, as a setting for many
forms of human activity, borderlands continue to exist well after
the establishment of formal boundaries.
