Qing Colonial Enterprise by Laura Hostetler
The author shows how Qing China (1636-1911) used cartography and ethnography to pursue its imperial ambitions and her study provides a wealth of insights to anyone interested in the significance of cartography, the growth of empire, or this exciting period of Chinese history.
"This book makes a significant contribution to existing scholarship by drawing attention to the importance of visual representation in relation to the process of empire-buildingThis is a carefully researched, highly readable, and visually appealing work." - L.J. Newby, Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute "This book's comparative approach and exciting insights should prove influential both inside and outside Qing history; serious students of cartography, ethnography, and empire cannot afford to overlook developments in Qing China or this book." - C. Pat Giersch, Journal of Asian Studies"
