Dear all,
I am looking for a panel to join for the AAS 2023 conference.
My paper is about the Qing colonial enterprise that targeted the Nakhi ethnic group in Lijiang, Yunnan province, during the Yongzheng reign. I am utilising official materials from both central (Veritable Records of Successive Reigns of the Qing Dynasty) and local governments (local gazetteers), and also the genealogy of the Mu Family, that the Mu Family was the Nakhi native chieftain of Lijiang Prefecture from the Yuan Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty before Gaituguiliu. Sources show that the abolishment of Mu chieftains is closely connected with the frontier crisis caused by the Mongols. The sources also show significantly different acculturation and assimilation process between the native aristocratic Mu family and the Nakhi commoners, and the sources also demonstrate a contradictional image of the imperial vision and self-construction of the Nakhi community. A case study on the Nakhi ethnic group living in the southwest frontier of the Qing Empire could therefore benefit us in clarifying the dynamic frontier strategies adopted by the imperial government in different frontier regions.
yours faithfully,
