Time, Temporality, And Imperial Transition East Asia From Ming To Qing

For historians, the temporal effects of cataclysmic events on large polities such as empires-the power projections of which always involve the dictation of time-are especially significant. This important and intriguing volume is an investigation of precisely such temporal effects, focusing on the northern and eastern regions of the Asian subcontinent in the seventeenth century, when the polity at the core of East Asian civilization, Ming-dynasty China, collapsed and was replaced by the Manchuruled Qing dynasty.Struve, Lynn A. is the author of 'Time, Temporality, And Imperial Transition East Asia From Ming To Qing', published 2005 under ISBN 9780824828288 and ISBN 0824828283.
