Official histories depict the Amur as a distant battleground caught between rival empires. Zatsepine, by contrast, views it as a unified natural economy populated by Chinese, Russian, Indigenous, Japanese, Korean, Manchu, and Mongol people who crossed the border in search of work or trade and who came together to survive a harsh physical environment. This colourful account of a region and its people highlights the often overlooked influence of frontier developments on state politics and imperial policies and histories."--Provided by publisher.Contemporary Chinese studies.(DE-601)104399635(DE-588)4158142-8Grenzkonfliktgnd(DE-601)105774456(DE-588)4120730-0Migrationgnd(DE-601)106304852(DE-588)4023222-0HandelgndHISTORY / Asia / ChinabisacshAmur River Region (China and Russia)History19th centuryAmur River Region (China and Russia)History20th centuryAmour, Région de l' (Chine et Russie)Histoire19e siècleAmour, Région de l' (Chine et Russie)Histoire20e siècleGrenzkonfliktMigrationHandelHISTORY / Asia / China.957/.708NK 7700rvkZatsepine Victor940474MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910163924103321Beyond the Amur2120845UNINA
