In Qing Colonial Enterprise, Laura Hostetler shows how Qing China (1636-1911) used cartography and ethnography to pursue its imperial ambitions. She argues that far from being on the periphery of developments in the early modern period, Qing China both participated in and helped shape the new emphasis on empirical scientific knowledge that was simultaneously transforming Europe--and its colonial empires--at the time.

Although mapping in China is almost as old as Chinese civilization itself, the Qing insistence on accurate, to-scale maps of their territory was a new response to the difficulties of administering a vast and growing empire. Likewise, direct observation became increasingly important to Qing ethnographic writings, such as the illustrated manuscripts known as "Miao albums" (from which twenty color paintings are reproduced in this book). These were intended to educate Qing officials about various non-Han peoples so that they could govern these groups more effectively.Hostetler's groundbreaking account will interest anyone studying the history of the early modern period and colonialism.

為何要將一個如此近代的“殖民”（colonization）強加在一個premodern的Qing Empire與西南民族的互動呢？如要將大清帝國構造為一個具有近代史、全球史意義的帝國，是否能忽視清以前的中央與周邊蠻夷的政策延續性呢？如此觀念先行、西方本位的歷史寫作分明顯露出作者在北美“新清史”中的較為極端的一種取向。

概念模糊，逻辑混乱，前后不搭，乱塞题目，只为闹个“清也是殖民国”大新闻。开头囫囵吞枣“前现代”概念，其实颇有可挖，尤其前现代反映在帝国时空观的转变（从寰宇普世自我中心变为意识到各民族与政权地域、从无限延展时空到发现有限地域与治下各社群之过去、从天然统摄变为需要强调己方政治统治）而由制图技术显示（清楚表示各政权，用十字线标定地理位置，逐步减少图形与文字表述而只标国名地名，将人文风俗描述转交专门民族志），抓住此点深谈即可，结果树立一个中西/传统现代二分稻草人乱打一顿，民族志、制图两种技术两者关系，其政治与殖民意义全无深入。谈所谓清代在前现代全球位置，不过简单把中西制图技术对比描述一番，毫无创见。谈清代在贵州制图标绘纳入疆域，用民族志划定被殖民人群风俗文化，是好案例但笔法混乱且篇幅不足。

这是汉学家河罗娜的博士论文（导师是韩书瑞Susan Naquin，以及梅维恒Mair等人）。主题背景就是康乾时代的清王朝对于帝国扩展时代的“被殖民地区”的少数民族的民族记录与地图描绘。显然，这是绕了好几个学术圈子的话题：其一，这一视角直接把清朝也纳入到整个世界的现代化进程中去，而不是简单地把清中国当成一个被动的牺牲品；其二，这一视角直接询问了为何民族国家的崛起后，才有了现代地图。那些前现代的地图，为何总会和地志尤其是民族描绘联系在一起；其三，这本书的阅读重心在“苗图”。作者跑了差不多50多个国家的博物馆和档案馆，查阅了大量的有关苗族的清代描述。讲述了一种不同于“中国本土视角”也不同于传统汉学视角的“地图＋民族志”里的“殖民主义”。。。。。。。。而此类的文化比较，也很容易在此类字眼上形成争议。第3章写得较弱。
