Review Essay Writing Modern Chinese History Inside Out: New Relational Approaches to (Un)Thinking the Nation-State, Diaspora, and Transnationalism Els van Dongen Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Abstract Engaging with earlier scholarship that probes the linearity of the nation-state, recent works employ new relational approaches and foreground “Chinese” perceptions of “China.” They approach modern Chinese history through the lens of the emigrant-homeland dynamic, advocating a localized transnationalism and exploring the implications of the transnational turn on temporality. Also, situating the nation-state within history, they argue for a “shifting” China based on questions of ethnicity and cultural exchange. This essay discusses the following works. Shelly Chan.

Dynamics of Disintegration: The Later Han Empire (25-220CE) & Its Northwestern Frontier Abstract As a frontier region of the Qin-Han (221BCE-220CE) empire, the northwest was a new territory to the Chinese realm. Until the Later Han (25-220CE) times, some portions of the northwestern region had only been part of imperial soil for one hundred years. Its coalescence into the Chinese empire was a product of long-term expansion and conquest, which arguably defined the egionr 's military nature. Furthermore, in the harsh natural environment of the region, only tough people could survive, and unsurprisingly, the region fostered vigorous warriors. Mixed culture and multi-ethnicity featured prominently in this highly militarized frontier society, which contrasted sharply with the imperial center that promoted unified cultural values and stood in the way of a greater degree of transregional integration. As this project shows, it was the northwesterners who went through a process of political peripheralization during the Later Han times played a harbinger role of the disintegration of the empire and eventually led to the breakdown of the early imperial system in Chinese history.

China Research Seminar Series (Easter Term 2021) FAMES, University of Cambridge Book Description On 1 July, the PRC will commemorate the founding of the Chinese Communist Party one hundred years ago. The Chinese Communist Party: A Century in Ten Lives documents this century, not by examining CCP policy, CCP campaigns, or CCP factional strife, but by telling the lives of ten of its members, one for each decade of its existence, to provide a mosaic of what it was like to live in, for, with, and under the Party. They range from intellectual figures such as Wang Shiwei, the Yan'an rebel rouser, and economic reformer Zhao Ziyang to 1950s movie star Shangguan Yunzhu and the disillusioned but still loyal intellectual Wang Yuanhua, who critiqued the party in the 1990s. With contribution from Europe, the PRC, the USA, and Canada, the editors hope that the book provides a realistic sense of the diversity of the CCP, the hopes and disappointments its members have experienced, the presence it has had in their lives, and its remarkable ability to learn from its past mistakes.

  • The Global Irish and Chinese: Migration, Exclusion, and Foreign Relations Among Empires, 1784-1904
    THE GLOBAL IRISH AND CHINESE: MIGRATION, EXCLUSION, AND FOREIGN RELATIONS AMONG EMPIRES, 1784-1904 A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Barry Patrick McCarron, M.A. Washington, DC April 6, 2016 Copyright 2016 by Barry Patrick McCarron All Rights Reserved ii THE GLOBAL IRISH AND CHINESE: MIGRATION, EXCLUSION, AND FOREIGN RELATIONS AMONG EMPIRES, 1784-1904 Barry Patrick McCarron, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Carol A. Benedict, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation is the first study to examine the Irish and Chinese interethnic and interracial dynamic in the United States and the British Empire in Australia and Canada during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Utilizing comparative and transnational perspectives and drawing on multinational and multilingual archival research including Chinese language sources, “The Global Irish and Chinese” argues that Irish immigrants were at the forefront of anti-Chinese movements in Australia, Canada, and the United States during the second half of the nineteenth century. Their rhetoric and actions gave rise to Chinese immigration restriction legislation and caused major friction in the Qing Empire’s foreign relations with the United States and the British Empire. Moreover, Irish immigrants east and west of the Rocky Mountains and on both sides of the Canada-United States border were central to the formation of a transnational white working-class alliance aimed at restricting the flow of Chinese labor into North America. Looking at the intersections of race, class, ethnicity, and gender, this project reveals a complicated history of relations between the Irish and Chinese in Australia, Canada, and the United States, which began in earnest with the mid-nineteenth century gold rushes in California, New South Wales, Victoria, and British Columbia.

  • WIDER Working Paper 2018/95: Nationalism and Development in Asia
    WIDER Working Paper 2018/95 Nationalism and development in Asia Prasenjit Duara* August 2018 Abstract: This paper identifies historic patterns in the dialectic between nationalism and development across various East, South, and Southeast Asian nations. Nationalism as the rationale for development is used by regimes to achieve high levels of growth, but also generates exclusivism and hostilities, often in order to integrate a political core. Popular nationalism has also dialectically reshaped the goals and patterns of development during the post-Second World War period. The region is divided into zones shaped by twentieth-century historical and geo-political conditions. Colonial and Cold War conditions were as important as internal political and ethnic circumstances. Turning points in the dialectical relationship were common within a region. More recently, a common transregional pattern has emerged with neoliberal globalization being accompanied by exclusivist nationalism. Keywords: Cold War, colonialism, development, exclusivism, nationalism, region, regionalism Acknowledgements: I would like to thank Aditya Balasubramaniam, Kanchana Ruwanpura, Srirupa Roy, and Viren Murthy for their help. Asian Transformations workshop participants Robert Wade and Deepak Nayyar gave especially constructive comments. * Duke University, Durham, NC, USA, email: [email protected].

First and foremost, I want to thank my husband, Joseph Tychonievich, who now knows more about Chinese history than he ever cared to know. He has cooked meals, provided encouragement, helped me think through arguments and questions, and offered feedback on early drafts. Many wonderful people have come into my life since I began my graduate education, but he is chief among them. I am also especially thankful to my sister, Heather Burke, who has been an enduring source of friendship and support for decades. Faculty at Marshall University guided me as I began developing the skills necessary for historical research. I am especially grateful to Fan Shuhua, David Mills, Greta Rensenbrink, Robert Sawrey, Anara Tabyshalieva, Chris White, and Kat Williams. As an East Asian studies master’s student at The Ohio State University, I received excellent mentorship from Joseph Ponce, Christopher Reed, Patricia Sieber, and Ying Zhang. The strong cohort of Chinese studies graduate students there, many of whom have since gone on to become faculty, also pushed me to think deeply and across disciplines.

Title: The soldier as a sage: Qi Jiguang (1528-1588) and the neo-confucianization of the military in sixteenth-century China Issue Date: 2018-10-18 Introduction Wen and wu are a unified Way, [but] nowadays it has been lost for a long time. The ancient archery rites still preserve this implication. Compare two men going up and down the steps, going forward in the sequence of geese according to military ranks. They do not step more than five or six paces on the way. When all the arrows miss the bull’s-eye, one seeks the cause within oneself and on account of the loss one contemplates. The victorious one, who does not brag about his achievements and does not condemn [the other], has achieved virtue. Archery is indeed the skill of military men, but when it is practiced by the scholar it will for this reason combine the Way of wen and wu . As for the archery of later generations, the error of the impractical Confucians has only then divided wen and wu . 文武一道,今亡久矣.其古射禮中尚存此意。比耦登降,鴈行之次,部曲之制,不愆於五步、六步 之道也。失諸正鵠, 反求諸己,因敗而思也◦ 勝者不矜其功而不伐,至德也。射則武人之技耳,而 爲士者習之,所以合文武之道也。若夫後世之射,乃迂儒之謬,文武分矣。1 This reflection on the relation of wen , which can mean “civil”, “culture”, or “literature”, to wu , “martial” or “military”, was written by Qi Jiguang 戚繼光 (1528-1588), a military officer who had a successful career serving the Chinese Ming dynasty. He appears to lament the loss of the unified practice of both wen and wu in his time, a situation he seems to blame on the “error of the impractical Confucians”.
