Alice Yao

Ancient Highlands of Southwest China

From the Bronze Age to the Han Empire

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Ancient Highlands of Southwest China offers a vivid account of the history of warrior polities occupying the southwestern frontiers of early China. Placing the archaeology of the "Dian" and its Bronze Age neighbors in dialogue with anthropological theory, Alice Yao shows how local histories of kingship come to challenge and resist imperial governance as well as the production of historiography.
