Trade Review

"This book provides timely and highly valuable research on the long roots of China's relations with Xinjiang, situating today's tension and conflicts within a sweeping historical context. . . . Essential."

* Choice *

"Jacobs explains better than any other previous scholar how the ‘empire of nations’ that is the modern PRC emerged from the colonial rule of the Qing dynasty and the politics of accommodation of Republican China on the frontiers."

-- Peter C. Perdue * Cross-Currents: East Asian History and Culture Review *

"This nicely conceived, thoroughly researched, thoughtful, and well-written book is a must-read for anyone interested in ethnicity in China."
