China is often seen as a monolith outside its borders. However,
heterogeneity and interculturality have characterized the Middle
Kingdom for centuries. Today, China's take on diversity is too
easily disparaged or perceived as ambiguous - as if China was not
legitimate to take part in conversations about it. The authors wish
to contribute to global discussions about interculturality in
education, which have often been dominated by 'Western' voices, by
problematizing a very specific Chinese perspective called Minzu
('ethnic') education. Minzu is presented as a potential companion
to other forms of diversity education (multicultural,
intercultural, transcultural, cross-cultural, global education).
Without claiming that they have found a miraculous and
one-size-fits all recipe, they argue that the lessons learnt from
researching various aspects of Minzu in Chinese education can also
help students, researchers, educators, and decision-makers unthink
and rethink the central issue of interculturality. As such the book
introduces the complexity, contradictions and benefits of Minzu
while helping the reader consider how compatible and complementary
it could be with discussions of interculturality in other parts of
the world. The book also aims at making readers observe critically
their own contexts. This book was written with an open mind and it
should be read with the same.
