The essays in this book speak to anyone who would like to question the idea that the existence of China has been inevitable for a very long time, or is puzzled about why there is no immediate solution to the issue of Tibetan independence, or would like to know why the study of minority peoples—only 8 percent of the People’s Republic and only 1.5 percent of Taiwan—can tell us important things about the history and the present of China as a whole. They also speak to anyone who revels intellectually in the complexity and potentiality of social relations in the real world. The essays, by nine anthropologists and a social historian, all address related facets of the shifting and fluid process of negotiation that is the real nature of ethnic relations in China, past and present, and by extension in the rest of the world also.
