Zusammenfassung:"China's land borders, shared with fourteen other nations, are the world's longest. Like all borders, they are not just lines on a map but also spaces whose histories and futures are defined by their frontier status. An ambitious appraisal of China's borderlands, Shifting Sands takes in the full scope and importance of these regions, illustrating their transformation from imperial backwaters to hotbeds of resource exploitation and human development in the age of neoliberal globalization. Xiaoxuan Lu brings to bear an original combination of archival research, fieldwork, cartography, and landscape analysis, broadening our understanding of the political economy and cultural change of China's borderlands in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries."
"How China s borderlands transformed politically and culturally throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries."
