This collection of case studies is concerned with tombs thattestify to transnational history. Special attention is givento tombs of Westerners and Russians still extant in GreaterChina, but also to those of some noted Chinese who wereinvolved in transnational history during the 20th century.Tombs have a special potential to cast familiar things in anew light. They also provide the possibility tocounter-check received narratives which might have beentailored along certain vested interests and circulated withspecific target groups in mind.Gotelind Müller is Professor of ChineseStudies at the University of Heidelberg.
