In this book the authors offer their unique perspectives on the
important roles Chinese students and intellectuals played in the
shaping of the twentieth-century China. Their answers to these
pivotal questions explore new nationalistic spirit, modern
world-views, and willingness of self-sacrifice, which had
attributed to the spontaneous actions of the students as a "New
Culture" emerged during the May Fourth Movement. These articles
show how China nurtured these spontaneous student movements, even
though the Nationalist Party in the Republic of China and the
Communist Party in the People's Republic had exerted tight control
over schools. Both governments established organizations as well as
operations among students that effectively turned some of the
student movements into a political instrument by the parties for
their own agenda.
There are some serious concerns and critical questions about the
on-going minority protesting in China, such as Tibetan monks'
self-immolations, Muslims' suicide bombings, and Uyghur large-scale
demonstrations. Why are minorities such as the Uyghur dissatisfied,
when China is rising as a world power? What kind of struggle must
they go through to maintain their identity, heritage, and rights?
How does the government deal with this ethnic dissatisfaction and
minority riots? And what is ethnic China's future in the 21st
century? Ethnic China examines these issues from the perspective of
Chinese-American scholars from fields such as economics, political
science, criminal justice, law, anthropology, sociology, and
education. The contributors introduce and explore the theory and
practice of policy patterns, political systems, and social
institutions by identifying key issues in Chinese government,
society, and ethnic community contained within the larger framework
of the international sphere.Their endeavors move beyond the
existing scholarship and seek to spark new debates and proposed
solutions while reflecting on established schools of history,
religion, linguistics, and gender studies.

While the Chinese urban movement has successfully transferred
surplus labor from the countryside to urban industries that
urgently require free and cheap labor, numerous problems have
arisen as a result of the unprecedented huge-scale process. Such
conditions such as overcrowding, substandard housing, lack of
social services, corruption, and abuse of power have often reached
crisis stage. American college students often ask: How does the
government control the largest urban population in the world? Why
do newly developed, highly commercialized cities continue to
support the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) rather than challenging
the old regime? What happens when urban residents have problems
with a party-controlled government? This book, collects essays from
the best scholars in their fields and examines urban issues,
including identifying residents' concerns, analyzing policy
problems, and providing some answers to these pivotal questions.
They address this important topic from a Chinese-American
perspective through a cooperative interdisciplinary research effort
among Chinese-American scholars interested in the subject. Their
scholarship makes a significant contribution through multi-faceted
components from different fields such as economics, political
science, criminal justice, law, anthropology, sociology, and
education. The authors introduce and explore the theory and
practice of policy patterns, political systems, and social
institutions by identifying key issues in Chinese government and
society contained within the larger framework of the international
sphere. Originally from Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an, Tianjin, and
other cities in China, these authors have received training and
advanced degrees from American universities and colleges, thus
bringing uncommon perspective and conclusions by focusing on urban
studies specific to China. Their endeavors move beyond the existing
scholarship and seek to spark new debates and proposed solutions
while reflecting on established schools of history, religion,
linguistics, and gender studies. Crucial to this volume is the
assessment of historical and empirical data found in these essays
that place major events in the context of Chinese tradition, its
culture, and national security. Using comprehensive coverage to
create a broad and solid foundation of knowledge, this collection
presents a better understanding of the current Chinese metropolitan
climate and includes legitimate issues with city policy
implementation.
