Asian Borderlands is written by Charles Patterson Giersch and published by Harvard University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0674021711 (ISBN 10) and 9780674021716 (ISBN 13).

With comparative frontier history and pioneering use of indigenous sources, Giersch provides a groundbreaking challenge to the China-centered narrative of the Qing conquest. He focuses on the Tai domains of the Yunnan frontier on the politically fluid borderlands, where local, indigenous leaders were crucial actors in an arena of imperial rivalry.
