Review
"Sheds new light on the interstices among state, society, and economy . . . [and] expands the field of Chinese social and legal history."―Thomas Buoye, author of Manslaughter, Markets, and Moral Economy: Violent Disputes over Property Rights in Eighteenth-Century China
"Richly documented with archival sources, Forgery and Impersonation in Imperial China explores the highly advanced and standardized Qing bureaucracy and the inevitable consequences of its imperfect mastery of advanced technologies of power: forgery, counterfeiting, and impersonation, which stand out as aspects of early modernity itself."―Par Cassel, author of Grounds of Judgment: Extraterritoriality and Imperial Power in Nineteenth-Century China and Japan
