Studies of SinoViet relations have traditionally focused on Chinese aggression and Vietnamese resistance, or have assumed outofdate ideas about Sinicization and the tributary system. They have limited themselves to national historical traditions, doing little to reach beyond the border. Ming China and Vietnam, by contrast, relies on sources and viewpoints from both sides of the border, for a truly transnational history of SinoViet relations. Kathlene Baldanza offers a detailed examination of geopolitical and cultural relations between Ming China (13681644) and Dai Viet, the state that would go on to become Vietnam. She highlights the internal debates and external alliances that characterized their diplomatic and military relations in the premodern period, showing especially that Vietnamese patronage of East Asian classical culture posed an ideological threat to Chinese states. Baldanza presents an analysis of seven linked biographies of Chinese and Vietnamese bordercrossers whose lives illustrate the entangled histories of those countries.
