Abstract

BIBLIOGRAPHIE John D. LANGLOIS, Jr., ed, China under Mongol Rule. Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 1981. xvi + 487 pp. China under Mongol Rule originated in a 1976 research conference but, unlike many conference volumes, is a cohesive and well-organ- ized collection of publishable essays. This book is directed mainly to a specialist sinological audience, and may also prove useful to scholars of Tibetan, Central Asian, and Islamic civilizations. China under Mongol Rule is composed of an editorial introduc- tion plus eleven essays divided under four themes: "Institutions", "Thought", "Foreigners in China", and "Art and Literature". In his introduction, Langlois discusses the "problem of appraisal" in terms of the insufficiently developed state of the field. Both the current Marxist interpretation that Mongol rule was not "alien people's rule", and the more traditional view that Mongol rule "led to a 'brutalization' of politics" with strong repercussions in the Ming dynasty are mentioned.
