More About the Author
Pamela Kyle Crossley is a historian of the Qing empire, Central Asia, and global history, whose books have been translated into Spanish, French, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. In Chinese and modern history she has pursued the questions of origins of modern identities, particularly their relationship to institutions of imperial rule in the early modern period. Her new history of China since 1800, The Wobbling Pivot, has been noted for its original interpretations of modern Chinese history as the product, to large degree, of changing relations between the central government and coherent structures of local management. In global history, she is co-author of the best-selling text, The Earth and its Peoples, and of Global Society: The World since 1900, as well as the a short study of narrative strategies in global history, What Is Global History? She is professor of history at Dartmouth College.
