In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the region of
Liangshan in southwest China was plagued by violence. Indigenous
Nuosu communities clashed with Han migrants, the Qing and
Republican states, and local warlords. The first English-language
history of Liangshan, A Frontier Made Lawless challenges the view
that ongoing violence was the result of population pressures, opium
production, and the growth of local paramilitary groups. Instead,
Joseph Lawson argues that the conflict resulted from the lack of a
common framework for dealing with property disputes, compounded by
the repeated destabilization of the region by turmoil elsewhere in
China.
