Katherine Palmer Kaup is assistant professor of political science at Furman University
Managing ethnic nationalism within the People's Republic of China has become increasingly challenging. As new reforms widen economic disparities between minorities and the Han majority, even the most assimilated of minorities, the Zhuang, have begun to demand special treatment from the central government. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officially recognized the sixteen million Zhuang as China's largest minority nationality in the early 1950s, granting them regional autonomy. Prior to this, however, the Zhuang did not share a common ethnic identity. Katherine Palmer Kaup explores why the CCP in effect created the Zhuang nationality. Why did it launch a massive propaganda campaign to increase nationality consciousness? How is the party now responding to the Zhuang's assertive political demands?This pioneering study unveils the unique culture of the Zhuang people, showing at the same time the CCP's skillful balancing of ethnic and regional loyalties over the past 50 years to integrate the diversity of China's ethnic mosaic.

这么久以来,终于有一本详细读完的书了。本书体现了某些海外中国研究书著共有的典型缺点:资料极不充分,关键问题缺乏证据,就在描写上模糊处理。但不管怎么说,作为少有的英文壮族研究书籍,又是学年论文所要重点参考的成果,给个两星吧。

评分据说是一个两面三刀的学者
评分其实多从政策性层面来理解,对人类学的意义不大
