oapen-20.500.12657-758022024-03-28T09:53:30Z Empire and Identity in Guizhou Weinstein, Jodi L. Asian history Open-access edition: DOI 10.6069/9780295804811 This historical investigation describes the Qing imperial authorities’ attempts to consolidate control over the Zhongjia, a non-Han population, in eighteenth-century Guizhou, a poor, remote, and environmentally harsh province in Southwest China. Far from submitting peaceably to the state’s quest for hegemony, the locals clung steadfastly to livelihood choices—chiefly illegal activities such as robbery, raiding, and banditry—that had played an integral role in their cultural and economic survival. Using archival materials, indigenous folk narratives, and ethnographic research, Jodi Weinstein shows how these seemingly subordinate populations challenged state power. 2023-08-28T08:10:05Z 2023-08-28T08:10:05Z 2013 book ONIX_20230828_9780295804811_15 9780295804811 9780295993263 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/75802 eng Studies on Ethnic Groups in China application/pdf application/epub+zip n/a Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International 9780295804811.pdf 9780295804811.epub https://uwapress.uw.edu/book/9780295993263/empire-and-identity-in-guizhou University of Washington Press University of Washington Press 10.6069/9780295804811 10.6069/9780295804811 bf4ecffe-ae79-41c6-a4b1-18e7b7aac1b9 9780295804811 9780295993263 University of Washington Press 208 Seattle open access
