Elena Barabantseva looks at the close relationship between
state-led nationalism and modernisation, with specific reference to
discourses on the overseas Chinese and minority nationalities. The
interplay between modernisation programmes and nationalist
discourses has shaped China's national project, whose membership
criteria have evolved historically. By looking specifically at the
ascribed roles of China's ethnic minorities and overseas Chinese in
successive state-led modernisation efforts,
This book offers new perspectives on the changing boundaries of
the Chinese nation. It places domestic nation-building and
transnational identity politics in a single analytical framework,
and examines how they interact to frame the national project of the
Chinese state. By exploring the processes taking place at the
ethnic and territorial margins of the Chinese nation-state, the
author provides a new perspective on China's national modernisation
project, clarifying the processes occurring across national
boundaries and illustrating how China has negotiated the basis for
belonging to its national project under the challenge to modernise
amid both domestic and global transformations.
This book will be of interest to students and scholars of Asian
politics, Chinese politics, nationalism, transnationalism and
regionalism.
