Frontier Tibet: Patterns of Change in the Sino-Tibetan Borderlands
addresses a historical sequence that sealed the future of the
Sino-Tibetan borderlands. It considers how starting in the late
nineteenth century imperial formations and emerging nation-states
developed competing schemes of integration and debated about where
the border between China and Tibet should be. It also ponders the
ways in which this border is internalised today, creating within
the People's Republic of China a space that retains some
characteristics of a historical frontier. The region of eastern
Tibet called Kham, the focus of this volume, is a productive lens
through which processes of place-making and frontier dynamics can
be analysed. Using historical records and ethnography, the authors
challenge purely externalist approaches to convey a sense of Kham's
own centrality and the agency of the actors involved. They
contribute to a history from below that is relevant to the history
of China and Tibet, and of comparative value for borderland
studies.
