Indeed, views of Yunnan should play an important part in historical efforts to link China's history more firmly with that of world history, as in views of the Enlightenment revolution in consumption habits (Clunas 1999 Clunas, C. 1999. ‘Modernity global and local: Consumption and the rise of the West’. The American Historical Review, 104(5): 1497–511. [Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]; Brook 2008 Brook, T. 2008. Vermeer's Hat: The Seventeenth Century and the Dawn of the Global World, New York: Bloomsbury Press. [Google Scholar]). 2. I give official modern terms for groups in parentheses. In some cases, such as Miao for Hmong or Yi for Nosu, the official terms include a great number of other groups in addition to those referred to here. The older name for the Tai/Dai was Pai-I (Baiyi). 3. See also Tapp 2000 Tapp, N. 2000. ‘Where only man is vile: Congress on Cultures and Biodiversity, Kunming, 21–31 July 2000’. Anthropology Today, 16(5): 24–6. [Google Scholar]. 4. See Chiao (1987 Chiao, C. 1987. ‘Radcliffe-Brown in China’. Anthropology Today, 3(2): 5–6. [Crossref] , [Google Scholar]) on Radcliffe-Brown's lectures at Yanjing, from where many of these scholars came. 5. I give the Tai pronunciation from which the official Chinese term derives. 6. Comprising China, Burma, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia. 7. In 1872, the Sultan dispatched a mission to London to plead for intervention with Queen Victoria after negotiations with the British in India. 8. These include more than twenty-two groups such as the Khmu, Mang, Kucong and Jews (see Heberer 1989 Heberer, T. 1989. China and its National Minorities: Autonomy or Assimilation?, New York: M. E. Sharpe. [Google Scholar]; Lemoine 1989 Lemoine, J. 1989. “‘Ethnicity, culture and development among some minorities of the People's Republic of China’”.

China's Ethnic Minorities and Globalization, Richmond: Routledge Curzon. [Crossref] , [Google Scholar]). 9. See the 2008 Yunnan Statistical Yearbook 2008 National Bureau of Statistics Beijing Available at: http://chinadataonline.org, accessed 18 February 2010 [Google Scholar] Yunnan Statistical Yearbook, which indicates that tourism accounts for approximately 12 per cent of provincial GDP. 10. Even in the eighteenth century periods such distinctions were important; see, for example, Lombard-Salmon (1972 Lombard-Salmon , C. 1972 Un Exemple d'Acculturation Chinoise: La Province du Guizhou au XVIIIe Siècle , EFEO Paris . [Google Scholar]) on the distinction in Guizhou between the earliest settlers (laohan, the ‘old Han’) and later ones (kejiamin, ‘guest people’). 11. Lijiang (Mattison; White in this issue) received recognition as a UNESCO world cultural heritage site. For an account of the legal controversy surrounding the attempt to list a kind of hybrid Naxi music as a ‘living fossil’ under the intangible heritage programme, see Doar (2005 Doar , B. 2005 ‘Litigation Surrounding Nakhi Ancient Music’ in China Heritage Newletter 2 June 2005, China Heritage Project, ANU. [Google Scholar]). See also Bai (2001 Bai J. 2001 ‘The Discourse of Tourism in the Construction of a Bai Cultural and Historical City’ The Thai-Yunnan Project Bulletin 2 2001 1 2 [Google Scholar]) on Dali. 12. As Guo (2008 Guo, X. 2008. State and Ethnicity in China's Southwest, Boston: Brill, Leiden. [Crossref] , [Google Scholar], p. 156) notes, for example, ‘Because ethnic tourism hinges on the Mosuo culture, the preservation of a woman-centered society is crucial for sustaining economic prosperity’.
