ABSTRACT A proposal has recently been made to relabel most of the period of Chinese history commonly known as the Northern Dynasties (386–581 CE) as “the Tabgatch empire.” The hope is that such a change might help avoid teleological assumptions that these dynasties were merely half of a temporarily divided China that was destined to eventually be reunified. This change of label also emphasizes the ethnic non-Han Chinese origins of these dynasties’ rulers by using a non-Chinese name. Problematizing the very idea of China, the same scholar has even proposed to “jettison the term ‘China’ altogether.” But, while there was indisputably much ethnic and cultural diversity in geographic China during these centuries, and fertile interaction, there remained powerful elements of mainstream continuity stretching from antiquity through the “reunified” Tang dynasty (618–907) and beyond. These continuities included historical memory, institutions, written language, and elite culture, for which China and Chinese may still be as good English designations as any.

through the vanishingly small spaces between things and thoughts, the spaces where knowledge is made. After a brief introduction, the text opens up the TCM clinic to describe the contours of Chinese medical epistemologies: the conceptualization of the human body in its constituent parts and totality, various, competing understandings of disease, and the duties of the practitioner to discern and treat suffering. Working within a medical knowledge system that was not traditionally bound to the collection of “objective” evidence, practitioners of TCM draw on their capacities for pattern recognition and their understanding of the body as a network of interacting things: “A human body, envisioned as interpenetrating networks that channeled powers throughout a decentered system might be read as natural proof that rule of any kind, at any scale, could not be totalitarian, nor could it extend its reach only over discretely bounded territories” (43). In the exam room, in the clinical encounter, and in the medical imagination, Professor Farquhar finds far more than things and thought. Here is the very universe of plural and relational truths that William James imagined.

that were inscribed in the social and political rules of Algerian, Tunisian, and Moroccan societies, and lastly by the persistence of corsairing in the Mediterranean. Such challenges are further analyzed in a third part, discussing developments between 1651 and 1683. A last part focuses on gift giving, and the apparent “cultural incommensurability” (160) between Maghrib and western European societies. Heinsen-Roach does well in pointing out that contemporary European commentaries on the inferior status of tributary relationships when compared to self-perceived European ideas on diplomatic ties fits within a developing discourse of European superiority, and the book is very successful in its attempt to steer away from the superiority discourse to arrive at a more nuanced history. The focus on the imprint left by the North African Regencies on European diplomatic developments is what makes the work interesting and important, but it also points to a common problem in studying history in or of the Islamic world in the early modern period – a lack of source material. The author relies on important primary source material, both published sources as well as archival documents – but these are all European. Preservation difficulties and linguistical barriers surely render the inclusion of North African and Ottoman material in the analysis complicated, but the ability to distill the Maghrib point of view more directly from such material – if available – would have provided even more evidence for Heinsen-Roach’s important claims.
