In this revisionist history of early modern China, Evelyn Rawski
challenges the notion of Chinese history as a linear narrative of
dynasties dominated by the Central Plains and Hans Chinese culture
from a unique, peripheral perspective. Rawski argues that China has
been shaped by its relations with Japan, Korea, the Jurchen/Manchu
and Mongol States, and must therefore be viewed both within the
context of a regional framework, and as part of a global maritime
network of trade. Drawing on a rich variety of Japanese, Korean,
Manchu and Chinese archival sources, Rawski analyses the conflicts
and regime changes that accompanied the region's integration into
the world economy during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
Early Modern China and Northeast Asia places Sino-Korean and
Sino-Japanese relations within the context of northeast Asian
geopolitics, surveying complex relations which continue to this
day.
