Overview
A leading scholar in the United States on Chinese archaeology challenges long-standing conceptions of the rise of political authority in ancient China.

Chang builds an impressive counterargument, one which ranges widely from recent archaeological discoveries to studies of mythology, ancient Chinese poetry, and the iconography of Shang food vessels.
