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.

用户评价

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。

四星。對英文讀者來說，要了解壯族在現代中國的形塑過程，這書應該是繞不過去。關於民族形成的四種理論取向回顧做得算是挺清楚的。在1950年代的民族識別後被稱為壯族的人，過去並未以此作為自稱，但是存在地域認同與相對性的人我之分，例如不認同自己是瑤人。另外對於壯族形成的原因並非黨對民族菁英訴求的回應，而是黨創造了民族菁英的觀察也基本可信。材料上也沒有特別之處。研究本身很工整，試圖涵蓋幾個教育、政治、文化等重要層面，但少見火花。算是民族政治學（跟人類學關係不是太大）的中規中矩之作。

创造壮族

其实多从政策性层面来理解，对人类学的意义不大

据说是一个两面三刀的学者
