[EAsiaUVa] ATTENTION: EAC Lecture series - John Herman talk next Friday!!!

[East Asia Center]

Hello all!

Next Friday Prof. John Herman from Virginia Commonwealth University will 
be coming to give a talk on "Negotiating the Margin: The Ming Conquest 
of Qian."  It will be in New Cabell Hall, room 311 at 3pm.

Prof. Herman studies the history of late Imperial China, from the 
sixteenth to nineteenth centuries.  His present research interests focus 
on Chinese state/society expansion into China's southwest frontier, the 
present-day provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, and southern Sichuan.
His just-released book from Harvard UP, "Amid the Clouds and Mist: 
China's Colonization of Guizhou, 1200-1700" examines how China's three 
late imperial dynasties - Yuan, Ming, and Qing - conquered, colonized, 
and assumed control of the southwest.  It also examines the indigenous 
response to China's colonization.

Hope to see everyone there!  We will have lemonade.

Best,
Graham
