About this product
Product Information
In The Chinese Revolution on the Tibetan Frontier , Benno Weiner provides the first in-depth study of an ethnic minority region during the first decade of the People's Republic of China: the Amdo region in the Sino-Tibetan borderland. Employing previously inaccessible local archives as well as other rare primary sources, he demonstrates that the Communist Party's goal in 1950s Amdo was not just state- building, but also nation-building. Such an objective required the construction of narratives and policies capable of convincing Tibetans of their membership in a wider political community. However, as Weiner shows, early efforts to "gradually" and "organically" transform a vast multiethnic empire into a singular nation-state lost out to a revolutionary impatience, demanding more immediate paths to national integration and socialist transformation. This led in 1958 to communization, then large-scale rebellion and its brutal pacification. Rather than a voluntary union, Amdo was integrated through the widespread, often indiscriminate use of violence, a violence that lingers in the living memory of Amdo Tibetans and others.

Reviews
Benno Weiner's The Chinese Revolution on the Tibetan Frontier is a detailed and powerful account of how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) attempted to incorporate Tibetans living in Amdo into the newly created Chinese socialist nation-state in the 1950s; Scholars of empire, nationalism and socialism in East Asia and Inner Asia will significantly benefit from reading it., The Chinese Revolution on the Tibetan Frontier takes a bottom-up approach, focusing on what made local actors tick and bringing their experiences to life., [ The Chinese Revolution on the Tibetan Frontier ] provides valuable detail on how the party tackled the problem of establishing control in an area culturally, linguistically, economically and politically so different from the interior.... Seldom is the veil lifted from Tibet, which makes...Mr. Weiner's chronicles all the more worth reading., Benno Weiner's pathbreaking book The Chinese Revolution on the Tibetan Frontier explores how the Chinese Communist Party and Tibetans interacted in the traditional ethnographic region of the Tibetan plateau called Amdo during the 1950s. Weiner's argument is well-supported throughout the study., Accidental Holy Land is validation that in the right hands these types of state-published collections, despite having undergone unclear processes of editorial curation, can be used to fashion empirically rich and highly original reassessments of the past that undermine both grand narratives and unduly deterministic conclusions., Pathbreaking. [A] superb contribution to the literature on the early years of Chinese Communist rule over Tibet., This book is a remarkable contribution to our understanding of this era as state archival material from this period is rarely accessible to researchers. [ The Chinese Revolution on the Tibetan Frontier is] a landmark publication in modern Tibetan history, early PRC history and the history of Chinese nation-building in its frontier regions. This book should be required reading for anybody interested in the history of Sino-Tibetan relations or modern Chinese nation-building., Benno Weiner is undeniably a serious thinker, and The Chinese Revolution on the Tibetan Frontier is a fascinating and important book. It's going to be a while until the next one of these comes along., In The Chinese Revolution on the Tibetan Frontier , Benno Weiner masterfully reconstructs the CCP's colonial encroachment on the Tibetan-speaking population of Amdo during the 1950s., Benno Weiner's excellent book makes two main contributions to what we know about the history of the Amdo / Qinghai region in western China. His careful empirical narrativization of the political history of the southern Qinghai highlands from the 1940s to the 1960s is pathbreaking, detailed, and nuanced. Second, his focus on the United Front as a set of ideas and policies similarly establishes a compelling baseline framework for regional and national historical analyses that connect the imperial past, Chinese socialism, and the Xi Jinping present. But Weiner also makes an important contribution to how we ought to think about the region., A landmark study. Accessibly written, this book will be of value to all students of PRC history and indeed Communist regimes. An impressive and timely achievement., The Chinese Revolution on the Tibetan Frontier provides valuable detail on how the party tackled the problem of establishing control in an area culturally, linguistically, economically and politically so different from the interior. Seldom is the veil lifted from Tibet, which makes Weiner's chronicles all the more worth reading., Utilizing never before available documents, Weiner has given us a fascinating, detailed insider's look at the discussions, disagreements, problems, orders, and more during this critical period of consolidation of power and nation-building this important, distinctly written and meticulously documented study provides critical insight into an area and period that we have known far too little about., The Chinese Revolution on the Tibetan Frontier provides valuable detail on how the party tackled the problem of establishing control in an area culturally, linguistically, economically and politically so different from the interior. Seldom is the veil lifted from Tibet, which makes. Weiner's chronicles all the more worth reading.
