"The Last Millennium of Chinese History" Lecture Series

A three-part lecture series by Dr. Frederic Wakeman entitled The Last Millennium of Chinese History : Transition from Culture to Nation can be found on Youtube. The lectures focus on the Ming and Qing Dynasties and on the changing nature of Chinese cultural identity over the past thousand years.

I haven't had the chance to watch any of these lectures yet so I cannot vouch for the quality (or content) of the lectures. The videos, which were uploaded by the University of California, Berkeley, can be found below.

Lecture 1 : China's Longue Durée and the Mongolian Occupation



Lecture 2 : Ming Nativism and the Local Turn



Lecture 3 : Qing Culturalism and Manchu Identity
