Person, materials, and method
Scholarship in context.
Peter C. Perdue studies Ming-Qing agriculture, population, environmental history, frontiers, Eurasian connections, and Qing imperial expansion. His major works address long-term agricultural change in Hunan and the Qing conquest of Central Asia.
He helped redirect Chinese history from an internal history of dynasties in the Han heartland toward the histories of a multiethnic empire, ecological frontiers, and Eurasian relations. His scholarship is especially productive when read alongside New Qing history, environmental history, and comparative imperial history.
