Chang is particularly hard on the Manchus, the northern-dwelling nomads who conquered China in 1644 and established the Qing dynasty. Chang correctly notes that the Manchus required their Han subjects to wear their hair in queues. But she calls this "a badge of their humiliation"?failing to mention that the Manchus wore their hair the same way. For someone so aware of the dangers of misrepresentation, Chang ought to know better. Still, it's a testament to the power of Chang's subject that...
