The IICAS 2006 Distinguished Lecture Series

---

Professor Wakeman asks what would happen to the conventional notion of a confident continuity in China 's Confucian culture if we focused more on the traumatic impact of the Mongol and Manchu conquests. He suggests a history that pays more attention to ethnic identity, xenophobia, and insecurity about China's cultural identity — a history with broad implications for the China now emerging on the world scene.
