The Ancient Highlands of Southwest China: From the Bronze Age to the Han Empire - Oxford Studies in the Archaeology of Ancient States
Yao, Alice (Assistant Professor, Department of Anthropology, Assistant Professor, Department of Anthropology, University of Chicago)
The Ancient Highlands of Southwest China offers a vivid account of the history of warrior polities occupying the southwestern frontiers of early China. Placing the archaeology of the "Dian" and its Bronze Age neighbors in dialogue with anthropological theory, Alice Yao shows how local histories of kingship come to challenge and resist imperial governance as well as the production of historiography.
