"Frontier Fieldwork" explores the work of social scientists, agriculturists, photographers, and missionaries who took to the field in China's southwest at a time when foreign political powers were contesting China's claims over its frontiers. In the early twentieth century, when the threat of imperialism loomed large in the Sino-Tibetan borderlands, these fieldworkers undertook a nation-building exercise to unite a disparate, multi-ethnic population. Andres Rodriguez exposes the transformative power of the fieldworkers' efforts, which placed China's margins at the centre of its nation-making process and race to modernity."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Soldiers and Scholars on the Frontier -- Missionary Explorers in the Field: The West China Border Research Society, 1922-37 -- Frontier Fever: Reporting from the Field -- Chinese Anthropologists at War: Frontier Reconstruction in the Field, 1937-45 -- Service in the Field: Wartime Students and the Frontier, 1940-45. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Borderlands $z Tibet Autonomous Region $z Tibet Autonomous Region $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Frontier workers $z Tibet Autonomous Region $z Tibet Autonomous Region $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Nation-building $z Tibet Autonomous Region $z Tibet Autonomous Region $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Borderlands. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01723579 650 7 $a Frontier workers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00935391 650 7 $a Nation-building. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01737474 651 0 $a Tibet Autonomous Region (China) $x History $y 20th century. 651 7 $a China $z Tibet Autonomous Region. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01758817 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Rodriguez, Andres, 1975- $t Frontier fieldwork $d Vancouver ; Toronto : UBC Press, 2022 $z 9780774867573 $z 9780774867573 $w (OCoLC)1314920843 830 0 $a Contemporary Chinese studies. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117025125.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D593197C96FD11ED8856CD373CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
