Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here in 'China' I Dwellis a historiographical account of the formation of Chinese historical narratives in light of outside pressures on China -- the view from China's borders. There is a special discussion of the inf luence of Japanese historians on the concept of China and its borders, including the nature of their sources, cultural and religious and more. In Ge's comparative account, a new portrait of Chinese historical narratives, along with the views and assumptions implicit in these narrat ives, emerges in the context of East Asia, a similarly constructed concept with its own multitudes of frontiers and peoples.
