On the global stage, China is often seen to be a homogenousnation when, in fact, it is a diverse multi-ethnic society, with 55minority nationality groups recognized by the government. Scatteredacross the vast landmass, ethnic minorities in China occupy aprecarious place in the state, where the Confucian concept ofcultural community plays down ethnicity and encourages integrationof minority nationalities into the majority Han-Chinesesociety.
This insightful book reveals the ethnic diversity underlying thePeople's Republic of China and examines how ethnicityintersects with social and political issues through key themes suchas ethnic inequality, the preservation and contribution of the richtraditions and customs of minority cultures, and the autonomy ofregions such as Tibet and Xinjiang. The author investigates theimportant role of the state and Beijing's assimilation stanceto show how its nationality policy, driven by Confucianassimilation ideology, has dictated China's own minorityrights regime and influenced its foreign policy towardsinternational minority rights.
This book by a distinguished scholar of ethnicity in China willbe essential reading for students and scholars of race and ethnicrelations, nationalism and Chinese culture and society.
