Description
Based mainly on Manchu documents, and drawing from recent critical notions of ethnicity, this book considers the evolution of the Manchu system of social and military organization and its value in their conquest of the Ming. Elliott (history, University of California, Santa Barbara) argues that Manchu power derived not only from the acceptance of orthodox Chinese notions of legitimacy, but also from an "ethnic sovereignty" reliant on the sustained coherence of the conquerors.
