Reviews
Provid[es] a wealth of new factual information and introduce[es] new lines of potential new research...A fine-grained consideration of elite formation, office-holding, and kinship in northern China., Displays Iiyama's excellent writing skills not only by combining human stories with the life of steles based on solid sources, but also by mingling various approaches from Japanese, Chinese, and English academia in a perfect balance...this adequately framed, substantial, and convincing work will become a must-read in Chinese social history and the history of the Mongol Empire., Perhaps the most striking feature of Genealogy and Status is its extraordinary command of epigraphic materials. ...The appendices...represent a wealth of information in themselves and will no doubt become an indispensable epigraphic reference for anyone interested in north China during the Jin and Yuan periods. Of course, Genealogy and Status is not just an epigraphic compendium, but also a fine-grained consideration of elite formation, office-holding, and kinship in northern China. This book is a most welcomed addition to the study of north China under Mongol rule.

Synopsis
By shedding light on a long-forgotten epigraphic genre that flourished in North China during the Mongol Empire, or Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), Genealogy and Status explores the ways the conquered Chinese people understood and represented the alien Mongol ruling principles through their own cultural tradition. This epigraphic genre, which this book collectively calls "genealogical steles," was quite unique in the history of Chinese epigraphy. Northern Chinese officials commissioned these steles exclusively to record a family's extensive genealogy, rather than the biography or achievements of an individual. Tomoyasu Iiyama shows how the rise of these steles demonstrates that Mongol rule fundamentally affected how northern Chinese families defined, organized, and commemorated their kinship. Because most of these inscriptions are in Classical Chinese, they appear to be part of Chinese tradition. In fact, they reflect a massive social change in Chinese society that occurred because of Mongol rule in China. The evolution of genealogical steles delineates how local elites, while thinking of themselves as the heirs of traditional Chinese culture, fully accommodated to Mongol imperial rule and became instead one of its cornerstones in eastern Eurasia., By shedding light on a long-forgotten epigraphic genre called "genealogical steles" that flourished in North China during the Mongol Empire, or Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), Genealogy and Status explores the ways the conquered Chinese people understood and represented the alien Mongol ruling principles and kinship through their own cultural tradition.
