This groundbreaking book analyzes the dramatic impact of Han
Chinese migration into Inner Mongolia during the Qing era. In the
first detailed history in English, Yi Wang explores how processes
of commercial expansion, land reclamation, and Catholic proselytism
transformed the Mongol frontier long before it was officially
colonized and incorporated into the Chinese state. Wang
reconstructs the socioeconomic, cultural, and administrative
history of Inner Mongolia at a time of unprecedented Chinese
expansion into its peripheries and China's integration into the
global frameworks of capitalism and the nation-state. Introducing a
peripheral and transregional dimension that links the local and
regional processes to global ones, Wang places equal emphasis on
broad macro-historical analysis and fine-grained micro-studies of
particular regions and agents. She argues that border regions such
as Inner Mongolia played a central role in China's transformation
from a multiethnic empire to a modern nation-state, serving as
fertile ground for economic and administrative experimentation.
Drawing on a wide range of Chinese, Japanese, Mongolian, and
European sources, Wang integrates the two major trends in current
Chinese historiography-new Qing frontier history and migration
history-in an important contribution to the history of Inner Asia,
border studies, and migrations.
