Chieftains into Ancestors describes the intersection of imperial administration and chieftain-dominated local culture. Observing local rituals against the backdrop of extant written records, it focuses on examples from the southwestern Hunan, Guangxi, Yunnan, and southwestern Guangdong provinces. The authors contemplate the crucial question of how one can begin to write the history of a conquered people whose past has been largely wiped out. Combining anthropological fieldwork with historical textual analysis, they dig deep for the indigenous voice as they build a new history of China's southwestern region ? one that recognizes the ethnic, religious, and gendered transformations that took place in China's nation-building process. 410 0$aContemporary Chinese studies,$x1206-9523. 606 $aEthnology$zChina, Southwest 606 $aMinorities$zChina, Southwest$xGovernment relations 606 $aMinorities$zChina, Southwest$xEthnic identity 606 $aAncestor worship$zChina, Southwest 607 $aChina, Southwest$xHistory 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aMinorities$xGovernment relations. 615 0$aMinorities$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aAncestor worship 676 $a305.8009 701 $aFaure$b David$0250252 701 $aTs'ui-p'ing$b Ho$01528526 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779672403321 996 $aChieftains into ancestors$93772175 997 $aUNINA
