Building the nation, serving the frontier: mobilising and reconstructing China’s borderlands during the war of resistance (1937-1945)
No full textThe wartime period between 1937 and 1945 provided an exceptional opportunity for the Guomindang state to experiment with a wide array of schemes that sought to further its nation-state project in the borderland regions of China. Under the rubric of ‘frontier reconstruction’ (bianjiang jianshe) it devised a series of plans that encompassed both the economic and cultural transformations of these regions. This paper discusses a particular scheme devised by Chinese anthropologist, Li Anzhai (1900–1985), during his stay at the Tibetan Buddhist monastery of Labrang where he sought to transform borderland societies into a modern Chinese citizenry. A key aspect to his strategy was the mobilization of youth where trained cadres and students performed what became known as ‘frontier service’ (bianjiang fuwu) establishing a dialogue with the community’s own particular demands by means of building schools, hospitals and agricultural projects. This paper argues that the notion of ‘frontier service’ and the ‘cultural reconstruction’ project propounded by Li not only sought to modernize and unify China around a distinct multicultural identity, it was also an important mobilizing force amongst sectors of wartime youth which arguably introduced young Han Chinese to a region which they had hitherto only imagined in the pre-war perio

The West China Union University Museum of Art, Archaeology and Ethnology: a global museum on China’s borderlands in the early 20th century
No full textThis paper examines the role played by the West China Union University Museum of Art, Archaeology and Ethnology in shaping notions of provincial and global modernity in Sichuan province. Despite its seemingly isolated location this paper argues that the West China Museum was in fact at the forefront of global efforts surrounding the development of museums which sought to advance research and education for citizens of both China and the world. Not only did its unique geographical location on the Chinese borderlands warrant such a position allowing for a multi-ethnic encounter in the provincial narratives it presented to the world. The museum’s Christian missionary background along with the important role played by its curators, David Crocket Graham and Zheng Dekun, was also crucial for the development of a series of important transnational networks that strengthened the museum’s mission and scope throughout this period
Creating a ‘new Yi’ for the Chinese nation. Rethinking modernity and the Yi during the republican period
No full textThis paper proposes to re-examine the relationship of the Yi people of southwest China with the many aspects of modernity that began to imbricate China’s southwest borderlands during the Republican period (1912-1949). This repertoire of Chinese Republican modernity which emphasized anti-imperialism, ethnic equality, modern education and warfare among others were key elements in the shaping of a modern Yi identity among a young elite that was brought into the Guomindang orbit. This paper in particular focuses on the career of a young Yi tusi, Ling Guangdian, who was trained under the Guomindang and then served in the Liangshan region. Ling’s career and actions during this period evidenced the ways in which ethnic minorities in China could use these discursive elements of modernity for the benefit of their own people conceived as a nation (minzu) albeit within the confines of the Chinese nation-state.<br/
