In Qing Colonial Enterprise, Laura Hostetler shows how Qing China (1636-1911) used cartography and ethnography to pursue its imperial ambitions. She argues that far from being on the periphery of developments in the early modern period, Qing China both participated in and helped shape the new emphasis on empirical scientific knowledge that was simultaneously transforming Europe--and its colonial empires--at the time.
Although mapping in China is almost as old as Chinese civilization itself, the Qing insistence on accurate, to-scale maps of their territory was a new response to the difficulties of administering a vast and growing empire. Likewise, direct observation became increasingly important to Qing ethnographic writings, such as the illustrated manuscripts known as "Miao albums" (from which twenty color paintings are reproduced in this book). These were intended to educate Qing officials about various non-Han peoples so that they could govern these groups more effectively.Hostetler's groundbreaking account will interest anyone studying the history of the early modern period and colonialism.

本書最有意思的是導論，作者把清朝政府與同時代歐洲的殖民帝國相提並論，她期期要告訴我們，從近代早期（early modern）觀點來看，中國與歐洲的差異沒那麼大。我們老用近代歐洲的標準，去衡量前近代的中國，才是有問題的。特別是在本書的兩個主題：地圖學與民族誌的發展上，我...

開篇貌似有大作為，中段論述看得我犯睏，到末尾語氣突然帶瞭一絲憤世嫉俗…… 苗圖的論證沒有太說服我。且看下周書評日Simon Schaffer會怎麼分析。

评分洋博士的水論文，前100頁是西方民族誌和地圖學文獻綜述，最後20頁是苗民文獻綜述，實際的乾貨隻有中間80頁，也沒說清楚清朝如何具體地在貴州進行殖民活動，總之輕重不分。
