China has huge ethnic minorities - over 40 different groups with a
total population of over 100 million. Over time China's policies
towards minority languages have varied, changing from policies
which have accommodated minority languages to policies which have
encouraged integration. At present integrationist policies
predominate, notably in the education system, where instruction in
minority languages is being edged out in favour of instruction in
Mandarin Chinese. This book assesses the current state of
indigenous and minority language policy in China. It considers
especially language policy in the education system, including in
higher education, and provides detailed case studies of how
particular ethnic minorities are being affected by the
integrationist, or assimilationist, approach.
