Critical Readings on the Manchus in Modern China (1616 - 2012) (4 Vols. Set)

Who were the Manchus and what was their contribution to history? The articles selected for this volume clearly demonstrate the cultural diversity of both the Manchu people and of the empire they created - the Qing. The inter-ethnic composition of the Qing clearly resonates with China today.
