What happens to people not only when the borders they seek to cross become heavily guarded, but also when new borders are drawn straight through the middle of their lives? The essays in this book address these questions by starting from small places on the borderlands of East Asia and looking outwards from the small towards the large, asking what these 'minor pasts' tell us about the grand narratives of history. In the process, it takes the reader on a journey from Renaissance European visions of 'Tartary', through nineteenth-century racial theorising, imperial cartography and indigenous experiences of modernity, to contemporary debates about Big History in an age of environmental crisis. 517 $aOn the Frontiers of History 606 $aBoundaries 615 0$aBoundaries. 676 $a320.12 700 $aMorris-Suzuki$b Tessa$0123519 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910477241503321 996 $aOn the Frontiers of History$93084899 997 $aUNINA
