In this section, Davis probably reaches a bit too far in his efforts to demonstrate continuity in the face of changelinking the older world of bandit networks to anti-Qing revolutionary activity in the first decade of the twentieth century, for example; the evidence as presented is not yet fully contextualized or explained. But Davis's larger point is worth considering carefully: the technologies of so-called civilization and modern state-building, including the borderline, census, and telegraph, do not necessarily bring order when introduced to borderlands communities; nor do they eradicate the perceived need for states to participate in and seek to justify cultures of violence against borderland inhabitants. In my own reading, I found this insight particularly pertinent to developments in China today. This book is a welcome study because of its focus on the late nineteenth-century Sino-Southeast Asian borderlands, a time period and region that deserves more good studies like this one. Davis brings to bear a wealth of knowledge about Qing, Nguyêñ, and French politics while also providing a humane and detailed analysis of northern Vietnam's diverse upland and lowland communities. The book is difficult to follow at times (the introduction could use an explanation of each chapter's contributions), and Davis relies, in my opinion, a bit too much on a particular interpretation of Qing frontier policies. Nevertheless, this is a study that should be read widely by those interested in East and Southeast Asia, particularly because the key dynamics-armed non-state actors, state-promoted violence, and the suffering of upland communities-have resonated for decades throughout the Sino-Southeast Asian borderlands.

Please check back later for the full article.Print culture in imperial China spanned over twelve hundred years, from the late 7th century ce to the end of the Qing Dynasty in 1911. During this long period, mechanical reproduction of texts and images meant primarily woodblock printing (xylography), and, to a lesser extent, typography, using movable types made of wood, metal, and ceramics. Xylography was first used for religious purposes, such as prayer sheets and scriptures, but by the late 8th century, non-religious imprints for daily use were produced. Only in the mid-10th century, however, did the state and the elites begin to produce and disseminate many non-religious works in print. Thus the dramatic growth in the number and diversity of imprints produced by government, private, religious, and commercial publishers took off in the Song Dynasty (960–1279), due in great part t...

Il se fonde sur la vie de quatre personnes en particulier : Wu Mianxue, Zheng Siming, Wu Huaibao et Cheng Juan. Les deux premiers travaillerent presque exclusivement a Nankin, tandis que les deux autres furent, selon toute vraisemblance, bases a Huizhou. Tous eurent cependant des echanges professionnels avec d'autres regions de la Chine centrale et meridionale, voire avec le reste du pays. Le pragmatisme dont ces hommes ont fait preuve dans l'utilisation de leur reseau de Huizhou montre qu'ils aspiraient a jouer un role dans la culture ecrite chinoise a un niveau national. Cela expliquerait pourquoi ils n'ont pas juge bon que leur production porte de signe distinctif de leur region d'origine. Ainsi, leur solidarite regionale s'exprimait essentiellement via des reseaux intellectuels, sociaux et d'affaires de haute volee, qui facilitaient l'ascension des gens de Hui vers les plus hauts sommets culturels, economiques et politiques du pays.
