The Origins of the Tiandihui

Some were organized for clandestine, criminal, or even seditious purposes by people alienated from or at the margins of society.

Ethnic Identity in Tang China

Ethnic Identity in Tang China is the first work in any language to explore comprehensively the construction of ethnicity during the dynasty that reigned over China for roughly three centuries, from 618 to 907.

Marc S. Abramson's rich portrait of this complex, multiethnic empire draws on political writings, religious texts, and other cultural artifacts, as well as comparative examples from other empires and frontiers.
