Negotiating Ethnicities in China and Taiwan

About this book

These essays address related facets of the shifting and fluid process of negotiation that is the real nature of ethnic relations in China, past and present, and by extension in the rest of the world. The volume concerns itself both with the overarching identity, first cultural and then national, that we now call "Chinese" and with its constituent ethnicites, including both the majority, which we now call "Han," and various minority or peripheral identities.
