Most western political scientists have tended to neglect the ethnic
dimension in China, and have overemphasized the development from
large empire to unified nation. This book attempts to repair this
neglect, by bringing together a number of case studies on the
ethnic and regional dimensions of Chinese politics and society.
Most of the contributors to this study use largely Chinese-language
sources. Five are social anthropologists, and three (in addition to
the editor) are political scientists. They provide in-depth
analyses of Han relations with Mongolians and Muslims; the
relations between the national government and selected provinces,
especially after the Cultural revolution; the majority-minority
interactions within provinces and the tensions within minority
communities; the conflict between nationalism and Marxism and its
impact on policies of culture and language; and attempts to balance
the pressures for the legitimization of cultural diversity and for
affirmative action with the imperatives of political unity.
