Twitchett, Denis C., Franke, Herbert, Fairbank, John K.

SUMMARY

This volume deals with four non-Chinese regimes: the Khitan dynasty of Liao; the Tangut state of Hsi Hsia; the Jurchen empire of Chin; the Mongolian Y8an dynasty that eventually engulfed China. It investigates the background from which these regimes emerged and shows how each set up viable institutions for the control of a multi-racial, multi-lingual, and multi-cultural population. It discusses these problems not just as a long negative episode in China's history, but shows the ingenuity and adaptability of these states, and their success in achieving political and social stability.Twitchett, Denis C. is the author of 'Cambridge History of China Alien Regimes and Border States, 907-1368' with ISBN 9780521243315 and ISBN 0521243319.
