Building New China, Colonizing Kokonor: Resettlement to Amdo and
Qinghai in the 1950s examines rural resettlement to the
Sino-Tibetan cultural borderlands in the 1950s. More than 100,000
eastern Han and Hui Chinese were sent to Qinghai province-known in
Mongolian as Kokonor and Amdo to Tibetans-to plow up new fields in
areas that were being incorporated into the Chinese state for the
first time. The settlers were to bring their skilled labor,
literacy, and modern thinking to "backward" Qinghai to fully
exploit its natural resources of oil, natural gas, gold, and empty
lands for the benefit of the industrializing nation. The book is a
social and political history of resettlement, focusing on the
people who were moved and the overall impact the program had on the
province. It is a frontier history, but it also narrates a story of
state building in modern China that spans the twentieth century and
the opening years of the twenty-first.
