Abstract

This issue of The Historian includes the centennial Phi Alpha Theta presidential address, two research articles on the history of imperial China, and a sizeable cache of book reviews. As president of Phi Alpha Theta, Jacob M. Blosser marked Phi Alpha Theta’s centennial with an address at the society’s biannual convention, held in 2023 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Drawing on the society’s institutional archives, Blosser highlights several themes that have shaped the society over time while also historicizing Phi Alpha Theta’s policies, customs, and traditions. He has developed that address into an article here. In “The Tabgatch empire and the idea of China,” Charles Holcombe examines the periodization and characterization of Chinese history during the “Northern Dynasties” period (386-581 CE). Holcombe finds that a “civic” Chinese identity was established and maintained despite dynastic conflicts, evolving cultural practices, and the shifting strategies of ruling elites. Laurie Venters’ article, “Lightening bonds: servile resistance in early imperial China,” offers a taxonomy of unfree labor and enslavement in the Qin, Western, and Eastern Han dynasties, a study of how the enslaved were often mistreated during this period, and a study of how the enslaved sought to improve or escape the conditions in which they were held. As always, these articles are followed by this quarter’s slate of book reviews and the list of recent initiates into Phi Alpha Theta.

本期《历史学家》包括Phi Alpha Theta百年总统演讲、两篇关于帝制中国历史的研究文章，以及大量书评。作为Phi Alpha Theta的主席，Jacob M.Blosser在2023年于新墨西哥州阿尔伯克基举行的该协会两年一度的大会上发表讲话，纪念Phi Alpha Theta成立一百周年。根据该协会的机构档案，Blosser强调了几个随着时间的推移塑造了该协会的主题，同时也将Phi Alpha Theta的政策、习俗和传统历史化。他在这里把这个地址写成了一篇文章。Charles Holcombe在《Tabgatch帝国与中国思想》一书中探讨了“北朝”时期（公元386-581年）中国历史的分期和特征。霍尔科姆发现，尽管王朝冲突、文化实践的演变和统治精英战略的转变，中国人的“公民”身份还是得到了确立和维护。Laurie Venters的文章《减轻束缚：中国帝国早期的奴性抵抗》对秦、西汉和东汉的不自由劳动和奴役进行了分类，研究了这一时期被奴役者是如何经常受到虐待的，并研究了被奴役者如何寻求改善或逃离被关押的条件。和往常一样，这些文章后面是本季度的书评和最近进入Phi Alpha Theta的提升者名单。历史学家2022，第84卷，第225期https://doi.org/10.1080/00182370.2022.2232633
