Excellent- More about Ethnic Chrysalis: China's Orochen People and the Legacy of Qing Borderland Administration
The book "Ethnic Chrysalis" is the first English book to cover the early modern history of the Orochen, an ethnic group that has inhabited areas now belonging to the Russian Federation and the Peoples Republic of China. The Qing dynasty was a formative period for Orochen identity, creating two subgroups with disparate levels of social and economic autonomy. The use of "Orochen" as an official modifier by Qing officials forms an early layer of the chrysalis that embodies various senses of ethnic identity for people who have been identified as Orochen. Loretta Kim examines how the impact of political organization in one era can endure in a group's social and cultural values.

Ethnic Chrysalis is the first comprehensive English-language work to explore the early modern history of the Orochen, an ethnic group that has resided in regions currently part of the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China for centuries. The Qing dynasty (1644–1911) played a pivotal role in shaping the Orochen identity, and its policies ensured the preservation of the Orochen as a distinct ethnic group. While integrating the Orochen into the imperial political realm through military conscription and forced resource extraction, the Qing government established two subgroups of Orochen, each with varying degrees of social and economic autonomy. The official use of "Orochen" as a modifier by Qing officials represents an early stage of the chrysalis that encapsulates diverse notions of ethnic identity for individuals who have been identified or self-identified as Orochen. Since the Qing era, the Orochen have held onto the belief that their ancestors during the Qing period played a significant role in defending and developing northeast China's economy. Loretta Kim's study delves into the evolution of Qing policies towards the Orochen along the Chinese-Russian borderland, examining how the impact of political organization in one era can persist in a group's social and cultural values.
