Description

Explore the complex relationship between imperial agendas and local structures in this work by Mingming Wang. Part of the UCL Institute of Archaeology Critical Cultural Heritage Series, this book offers a deep look at long-term historical anthropology and broad social theory. Through a study of the southern Chinese city of Quangzhou, Wang traces a millennium of history. The text examines the city's evolution from a major international trading entrepot in the 13th century to a peripheral regional center by the late 19th century. Using urban structure and documentation, the author provides a model for understanding how local dynamics and imperial forces interact over centuries and dynasties.
