Epilogue: What Is a Geographical Perspective on China's History?Index; About the Contributors

Sommario/riassunto

This volume treats "China" first and foremost as an evolving and imagined geographical entity. The contributors explore China's last five hundred years of history using geography as a lens through which to approach such issues as sports, ethnography, cartography, religion, elite and popular culture, transnational networking, urban planning, and politics.
