Ability and Difference in Early Modern China: A Mongol Family at the Ming Court
Robinson, David (Colgate University, New York)
In 1405, a family left their home in the Mongolian steppe and moved to China. Winning recognition for military skill and loyalty at the Ming court, their story demonstrates how the early-modern world's most developed state sought to balance the often contradictory demands of securing ability and addressing difference.
