Such gaps are commonly attributed to geography and access to resources. But in Corporate Conquests, C. Patterson Giersch points to a historical disempowerment of these regions to suggest that China's minority communities have been underserved by economic development as well as state perception and location. Focusing on corporations as an agent of development, and subsequent ethnic marginalization, in the borderlands, the book posits the inequalities seen there today as originating in commercial and political changes between the 1870s and the 1940s. Not only did these communities become more deeply engaged in trade networks during this time, they were also subjected to urban-oriented nationbuilding projects that fundamentally undermined minority leadership. This resulted in state-owned enterprises controlling large shares of rural economies. By examining the rise of the corporation within the framework of persistent ethnic inequality, the book reveals how important new concepts about modern state power were forged in the pre-Communist borderlands"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Minorities $z China, Southwest $x Economic conditions $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Minorities $z China, Southwest $x Economic conditions $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Corporations $z China, Southwest $x History. 651 0 $a China, Southwest $x Economic conditions $y 19th century. 651 0 $a China, Southwest $x Economic conditions $y 20th century. 651 0 $a China, Southwest $x History. $x History. 651 0 $a China, Southwest $x History. $x History. 650 7 $a Commerce. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00869279 650 7 $a Corporations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00879777 650 7 $a Economic history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901974 650 7 $a Ethnic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916005 650 7 $a Minorities $x Economic conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01023115 651 7 $a Southwest China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01692656 648 7 $a 1800-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Giersch, Charles Patterson. $t Corporate conquests. $d Stanford, California : Stanford University Press, 2020. $z 9781503612174 $w (DLC) 2019031943 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721013858.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E7B08496B05F11EA86A2D96D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
