  Provides a challenge to the China-centred narrative of the Qing conquest through comparative frontier history and a pioneering use of indigenous sources. This title focuses on the Tai domains of China's Yunnan frontier, part of the politically fluid borderlands, where local, indigenous leaders were crucial actors in an arena of imperial rivalry.
