Investigates how frontiers worked before the modern nation-state was invented. This work offers ways of thinking about borders, loyalty, and identity in premodern China. It takes as a starting point the recognition that ""China"" did not exist as a coherent entity, neither politically nor geographically, neither ethnically nor ideologically.
