This book explores the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) military, its
impact on local society, and its many legacies for Chinese society.
It is based on extensive original research by scholars using the
methodology of historical anthropology, an approach that has
transformed the study of Chinese history by approaching the subject
from the bottom up. Its nine chapters, each based on a different
region of China, examine the nature of Ming military institutions
and their interaction with local social life over time. Several
chapters consider the distinctive role of imperial institutions in
frontier areas and how they interacted with and affected non-Han
ethnic groups and ethnic identity. Others discuss the long-term
legacy of Ming military institutions, especially across the
dynastic divide from Ming to Qing (1644-1912) and the implications
of this for understanding more fully the nature of the Qing rule.
