  • Clustered Communities and Transportation Routes: the Wa Lands Neighboring the Lahu and the Dai on the Frontier Jianxiong Ma
    The Journal of Burma Studies Vol. 17 No, 1 (2013), pp. 81–119 © 2013 Center for Burma Studies Northern Illinois University Clustered Communities and Transportation Routes: The Wa Lands Neighboring the Lahu and the Dai on the Frontier Jianxiong Ma Introduction This article aims to provide a perspective on the historical change of Wa society. The article locates these developments in the history of frontier formation from the 17th to the early 20th centuries in a context of Qing state extension toward the southwest mountains. The society of the Wa lands was a clustered system due to a historical chain of developments whose components included variable entities and occur- rences, like the mining industry, migration, religious move- ments, and the change of markets. The latter was bound up with the change in the salt policy, the integration of Dai chief- tain into different socio-political arrangements, the rise and fall of the religious movement among the neighboring Lahu, the establishment of Han Chinese gentry power, and so on. Historical reformations were not only linked with dynasties in the Burmese kingdoms and the Qing’s frontier policy to integrate the Dai chieftains into the official county system. They were also linked to the demographic reconstruction in Qing China, as well as the coming of British colonial power. J1 In this perspective, the reconstruction of the Wa society should be rechecked against a historical process of clustered 81 JBS_04.indd 81 3/7/2013 8:02:26 PM 82 Jianxiong MA Map of the Yunnan-Burma Frontier between Rivers and Dai Chieftains fragmentation in the systemic transformation, from a long- term dynamic between interior Yunnan and Shan-Dai chief- tains through tributaries and markets, to a system of early modern states with a distinctive borderline on the map.
