Open-access edition: DOI 10.6069/9780295804088 China's exploitation
by Western imperialism is well known, but the imperialist treatment
within China of ethnic minorities has been little explored. Around
the geographic periphery of China, as well as some of the less
accessible parts of the interior, and even in its cities, live a
variety of peoples of different origins, languages, ecological
adaptations, and cultures. These people have interacted for
centuries with the Han Chinese majority, with other minority ethnic
groups (minzu), and with non-Chinese, but identification of
distinct groups and analysis of their history and relationship to
others still are problematic. Cultural Encounters on China's Ethnic
Frontiers provides rich material for the comparative study of
colonialism and imperialism and for the study of Chinese
nation-building. It represents some of the first scholarship on
ethnic minorities in China based on direct research since before
World War II. This, combined with increasing awareness in the West
of the importance of ethnic relations, makes it an especially
timely book. It will be of interest to anthopologists, historians,
and political scientists, as well as to sinologists.
