ABOUT THIS BOOK
ABOUT THIS BOOK
These 100 extraordinary photographs, selected from over two thousand taken by Frederick R. Wulsin during his 1923 expedition to the northwest borders of China, document the interplay of culture and way of life among Mongols, Tibetans, and Hans. The photographs are supplemented by extensive selections from Wulsin’s journals and letters that offer a comprehensive portrait of these societies at a critical moment of transition. Joseph Fletcher places it in the context of centuries of shifting patterns of empires and ethnic dominance, which continues to this day. M. E. Alonso contributes an essay on Wulsin, and the expedition. The photographs are taken from the archives of the National Geographic Society and Harvard’s Peabody Museum.
