Beijing: Renmin Chubanshe, 2006. 409 pp. Paperback 33.00 RMB, ISBN 7-01- 005943-8. Works fixed with the label of “nationalist history” are typically given - little quar ter by serious historians of Ch 1 iThin sa b.ias, while not fully unwarranted, has recently begun to color Western scholars’ approaches to a vast swath of Chinese historiography on peripheral regions, specifically Xinjiang. While it is no doubt true that the political constraints binding Chinese scholars today have guided much of their work on Xinjiang, it is a mistake to dismiss perspectives deemed overly “nationalistic” out of hand. Cai Jiayi’s recently published history of Qing XinQ jiia nn gg da , i Xinjiang shehui jingji shigang, certainly toes the Chinese Communist Party’s high- ly ques tionable historical line on the region. In the opening sentence of the work, Cai states without qualification that “since the Qin and Han Dynasties this [region] had always been our country’s ancient borderland,” a position that echoes the CCP’s official white paper on Xinjiang (p. 3) 2.
