Addressing the classification of ethnic minorities in China by the state and its implications, and the way in which China and the Chinese are seen by outsiders as well as insiders, this book collates the research of the international team of contributors, based on their fieldwork in a variety of minority communities. This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.
