Opis

A comparative history that reconsiders China's relations with the rest of Eurasia, Sui-Tang China and Its Turko-Mongol Neighbors challenges the notion that inhabitants of medieval China and Mongolia were irreconcilably different from each other.

Recenzje

It is impossible to gain an accurate understanding of medieval Chinese history without reference to the steppe peoples to the north and northwest of the East Asian Heartland. Jonathan Skaff's book, with its unabashedly comparative and cross-disciplinary approach, remarkably comprehensive coverage, and minutely detailed treatment, masterfully achieves this integrationist goal, without losing sight of institutional traditions and ethnic realities.
