Many scholars perceive ethnic politics in China as an untouchable
topic due to lack of data and contentious, even prohibitive,
politics. This book fills a gap in the literature, offering a
historical-political perspective on China's contemporary ethnic
conflict. Yan Sun accumulates research via field trips, local
reports, and policy debates to reveal rare knowledge and findings.
Her long-time causal chain of explanation reveals the roots of
China's contemporary ethnic strife in the centralizing and
ethnicizing strategies of its incomplete transition to a nation
state-strategies that depart sharply from its historical patterns
of diverse and indirect rule. This departure created the
institutional dynamics for politicized identities and ethnic
mobilization, particularly in the outer regions of Tibet and
Xinjiang. In the 21st century, such factors as the demise of
socialist tenets and institutions that upheld interethnic
solidarity, and the rise of identity politics and developmentalism,
have intensified these built-in tensions.
