{"product_id":"boundaries-and-beyond-ng-chin-keong-9789814722018","title":"Boundaries and Beyond: China's Maritime Southeast in Late Imperial Times","description":"Using the concept of boundaries, both physical and cultural, to explain the development of China's maritime southeast and its interactions across maritime East Asia and the broader Asian Seas, this book offers a new way of understanding Chinese history in the late Imperial period. Ng Chin-keong examines social boundaries between \"us\" and \"them;\" challenges to rigid demarcations posed by the state; movements of people, goods, and ideas across borders and among cultures; and the line between tradition and innovation. The result is a novel way of understanding China's relations with neighboring territories and people as well as the nature of tradition in China and its persistence in the face of changing circumstances. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ng Chin-Keong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9814722014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789814722018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National University of Singapore Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2017","brand":"Ng Chin-Keong","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43941405131007,"sku":"9789814722018","price":56.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_8e6aaace-0186-4369-8e22-7f29d745fe33.jpg?v=1681452736","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/boundaries-and-beyond-ng-chin-keong-9789814722018","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
