Bücher von Pamela Kyle Crossley

Focusing on three generations of a Manchu family (from 1750 to the 1930s), this book is an attempt to understand the social and cultural life of the bannermen within the context of the decay of the Qing regime. It reveals that the Manchus were growing in consciousness of their ethnicity in response to changes in their own position.

Weaving new interpretive approaches and grand themes of world history from 1000 to 1500, distinguished historian Pamela Kyle Crossley boldly argues that nomadic regimes such as the Mongols and Turks profoundly shaped Eurasia's economic, technological, and political evolution to create our modern world.
