Pamela Kyle Crossley Biography

Pamela Kyle Crossley is one of the most popular and richest Historian who was born on November 18, 1955 in Lima, Ohio, United States. Recently, Crossley has released The Wobbling Pivot: China Since 1800: An Interpretive History that examines the coherence and resilience of the local communities of China as a basis for understanding the change from the imperial period to the modern age. The previous books by Crossley are What is Global History? (Polity Press 2008) A study of narrative strategies used in global history . It is part of an upcoming series of short intro books that are influenced by E.H. Carr’s What is History?. The books of Crossley on Chinese histories includes Orphan Warriors: Three Manchu Generations and the Finalization of the Qing World (Princeton University Press 1990); The Manchus (Blackwells Publishers 1997) A Translucent Mirror History as well as Identity of the Qing Imperial Ideology (University of California Press 1999). Crossley is also the co-author of the top-selling world history textbooks The Earth and its Peoples (Houghton Mifflin 5th edition 2009.) in addition to Global Society: The World from 1900 to 1900 (Houghton Mifflin 2nd edition, 2007). Her work was published in two distinct editions that comprise her Cambridge histories. She has been widely published in journals of academic research and periodicals like London Review of Books, Wall Street Journal, The New York Times Literary Supplement, The New Republic, Royal Academy Magazine, Far Eastern Economic Review, Calliope and in the editorial online areas at the BBC. She was a part of A&E’s “In the Search of” …” The Forbidden City,” a series (“The Forbidden City”). In January 2012, the new online platform for education The Faculty Project announced that Crossley will produce an online course about Modern China for their site. In a rare move, Crossley keeps an errata page for her works, and also discussions with translators.

Crossley was a co-author on The Earth and its Peoples that was a revolutionary text published in 1997. She was asked by the author to compose What is Global History? in an Polity Press series of short texts that introduce historical genres to students in the undergraduate level. It is a study in “narrative strategies” used by historians of various cultures throughout history, to try to convey “a story without a center,” which Crossley believes is the primary characteristic in “global history.” Her own work in the field of global or world history Crossley is primarily known for her argument, which is in accordance with a number of other historians from China and other regions, that not just material , but also social and political changes led to the “early modern” period across Eurasia from around 1500 until around 1800. She has stated that, while an Eurasian chronology which could be used for teaching could be possible (as in the case of the early modern period) but it’s not “global” since it would connect Chinese in European history, but separate the historical contexts that of Africa, Australia, and North and South America.

Of Crossley’s books, only What is Global History? has been successfully translated and published in China. On April 20, 2015, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences published a criticism by historian Li Zhiting of historians he called a “New Qing History” faction, accusing former Association for Asian Studies President Evelyn Rawski, Crossley, Mark C. Elliott and James A. Millward personally as being apologists for imperialism, producing fraudulent history and encouraging “splittism” in border areas. This followed Internet criticism by Chinese posters of Crossley’s 2011 editorial in the Wall Street Journal, in which she contrasted the international foundations of the 1911 revolution in China with the narrow nationalism of the hundred-year celebration in 2011. Possibly Li Zhiting used some criticisms that Crossley herself had written in a 2008 essay which was translated into both Korean and Chinese in 2009 and 2010. The criticisms by Li were followed by an interview with associate professor Zhong Han (Minzu University) in the same CASS online journal, severely attacking both Crossley personally and her work. In a subsequent essay Zhong continued his attack on Crossley, citing errors in an article of hers that had been translated into Chinese. Crossley maintains a voluminous errata site linked to her faculty page since 1995; in a tweet, she pointed out that Zhong had missed the “good stuff” and recommended that he visit the page. Subsequently, Liu Wenpeng denounced the concept of “Inner Asia” as used by “New Qing” historians, apparently following Crossley’s 2009 discussion of the history of the Inner Asian term. Criticism of Crossley, Rawski and “New Qing” historians, particularly Elliott and Millward, continues in the Chinese press, possibly reinforcing campaigns against “Western culture” encouraged by the current Chinese government. Crossley was quoted in Kyodo New Service as saying, “We are not the targets,” and that Chinese historians using non-Chinese documents and dealing with the history of Qing empire conquests were the real targets.

Crossley was raised in Lima, Ohio, and went to High School in Emmaus, Pennsylvania. After high school, she was employed as an editor’s assistant as well as a journalist on environmental subjects for Rodale Press. In 1977, she was a graduate of Swarthmore College, where she was editor-in-chief for The Phoenix; her fellow students included David C. Page, Robert Zoellick, Ben Brantley, Wing Thye Woo, Robert P. George, Jacqueline Carey and David G. Bradley. In Swarthmore she was one of the students at the school of Lillian M. Li and Bruce Cumings, and as an undergraduate she started graduate school with The University of Pennsylvania with Hilary Conroy. Later, she enrolled in Yale University, where she was an undergraduate student of Yu Ying-shih and Parker Huang as well as did her dissertation under the guidance under the direction of Jonathan D. Spence. She was a member of in the Dartmouth College faculty in Hanover, New Hampshire, in 1985. Following David Farquhar, Gertraude Roth Li as well as Beatrice S. Bartlett, Crossley was one of the first scholars to write in English to utilize documents written in Manchu language to study the history of Qing Empire. The following specialists also took up this method. Crossley is an Guggenheim fellow as well as one of the NEH Fellow (2011-2012) and also a winner from the Association for Asian Studies Joseph Levenson Book Prize for a Translucent Reflection. Dartmouth students have awarded them their Goldstein Prize for teaching. Crossley resides in Norwich, Vermont.

Pamela Kyle Crossley (born 18 November 1953) is a historian of the modern age of China and northern Asia and global history and is the title of the Charles as well as the Elfriede Collis Professor of History, Dartmouth College. She was a founding member for the Dartmouth Society of Fellows.

In publications in Korea and China since 2008 Crossley has written that there are two trends that are often conflated, one a “Manchu-centered” school and another group who view the Qing empire as a “historical object” in its own right (not only a phase in Chinese history). She criticized the “Manchu- centered” school for romanticism and relying on disproved theories about “Altaic” language, culture and history. She also argued that the analyses used by the group called “New Qing Historians” by Waley-Cohen and later popular with Chinese historians were various and conflicting, and that “New Qing History” as a “school” could not reasonably be extended beyond the small group who actually called themselves writers of “New Qing History.” On the other hand, she seems to have included herself in the Qing empire school, which she calls “Qing Studies.” She sees the Qing empire not as a Manchu empire but as a “simultaneous” system (like many other historical empires) in which the emperor is not subordinate to any single culture.
