'An important piece of work on the study of Chinese ethnicity' -
Journal of Contemporary Asia
In this new work on ethnicity and identity, Chih-yu Shih, one of
the most original and productive scholars writing about China,
analyzes a variety of minority-group perspectives in their 'China
moments' of dealing with the state ...providing new insights into
what it means to be Chinese today. - Peter Van Ness, Contemporary
China Centre, Australian National University
Professor Shih cites unprecedentedly rich material from a wide
variety of Chinese minorities to show that people construct their
ethnicities more variously than any of the usual theories would
predict. The book remakes political anthropology as a kind of plate
tectonics involving more collisions, subductions, withdrawals and
contingencies than most accounts of ethnicities admit. Shih shows
that such a view is needed to describe the nation that has become
most populous. - Lynn White, Princeton University
