The classification of ethnic identities (minzu) remains
controversial in China. Categories established in the 1950s are
still used by the state to administer minority areas, despite the
existence of a complicated web of subjective identities which
potentially undermines efforts to use these categories effectively.
This book offers a new, and sometimes unusual, perspective on
ethnic relations in China, and on the interactions between China
and other cultures. Two major themes run through the book: the
classification of ethnic minorities in China by the state, and the
implications of this practice; and the way in which China and the
Chinese are seen by outsiders as well as insiders. The
contributors, whose research is all based on fieldwork with the
relevant communities, are from a wide range of backgrounds and are
currently based in China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Kazakhstan, and
Germany. The subjects of their research are the politics of
minority classification in the People's Republic of China;
questions of identity in Xinjiang; Kazakhstani perceptions of China
and the Chinese; Chinese Muslims in Malaysia; and the growing
Chinese diaspora in Africa. This book was originally published as a
special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.
