Scope and content This collection of 10 documents covers twentieth century ethnographic fieldwork and the history of the Yi. The core ethnography is found in books by the anthropologist Lin Yaohua on Yi kinship and genealogical system and Yi society, politics, economy and religion based on fieldwork carried out in 1943. Ma and Lei wrote on Yi exorcism rituals and religion in the same period. Tseng wrote a short ethnography on Yi culture and history based on a 1941 excursion in the region. Graham provides a very brief overview of Yi culture and society. Feng looks at historical accounts of Yi in Chinese and Western records going back as early as 400 BC. Pollard, a missionary who lived in southwestern China from 1888-1915, writes about Yi material culture circa 1900. Mueggler did his fieldwork in the 1990s and writes about a past form of political organization imposed on the Yi by the Han Chinese during the Imperial and Republican periods and which is now used in Yi historical discourse to articulate an unique location and identity within contemporary Chinese society.
