Based on long-term ethnographic research, 'Borderland infrastructures' addresses a major contradiction at the heart of this fast-paced development: small-scale traders have lost their historic strategic advantages under the growth of massive Chinese state investment and are now struggling to keep their businesses afloat. Concurrently, local ethnic minorities have become the target of radical resettlement projects, securitization, and tourism initiatives, and have in many cases grown increasingly dependent on state subsidies. At the juncture of anthropological explorations of the state, border studies, and research on transnational trade and infrastructure development, 'Borderland infrastructures' provides new analytical tools to understand how state power is experienced, mediated, and enacted in Xinjiang and Yunnan. In the process, Rippa offers a rich and nuanced ethnography of life across China's peripheries. 410 0$aAsian borderlands. 606 $aBorderlands$xEconomic aspects$zChina 606 $aIntergovernmental fiscal relations$zChina 606 $aInfrastructure (Economics)$zChina$zYunnan Sheng 606 $aInfrastructure (Economics)$zChina$zXinjiang Uygur Zizhiqu 610 $aAnthropology. 610 $aBelt and Road Initiative. 610 $aBorder studies. 610 $aChina. 610 $aInfrastructure. 615 0$aBorderlands$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aIntergovernmental fiscal relations 615 0$aInfrastructure (Economics) 615 0$aInfrastructure (Economics) 676 $a336.51 700 $aRippa$b Alessandro$0787463 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996379038903316 996 $aBorderland infrastructures$92247605 997 $aUNISA
