China's profound demographic and socio-economic transformation has intensified the dominance of Han culture and language and seriously challenged the traditional cultures in ethnic minority areas. The authors draw on multiple empirical sources, including in-depth interviews with Kam villagers and local officials, field observations, media discourse, local archives and government documents. They present an engaging account of the significant compromises that government and villagers have made in relation to ethnic identity in the name of economic development, and of the tensions and struggles that characterise the ongoing process of ethnic identity reconstruction. Students and researchers in sociolinguistics, ethnography, and discourse studies, especially those with an interest in Chinese discourse, and everyone interested in issues around ethnicity (minzu) issues in China, will find this book a valuable resource. 504 Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 Dong (Chinese people) |zChina |zGuizhou Sheng. 650 0 Dong (Chinese people) |xEthnic identity. 650 7 Dong (Chinese people) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00896830 651 7 China |zGuizhou Sheng. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01212364 700 1 Jiang, Lisong, |eauthor. 776 08 |iebook version : |z9781000412932 830 0 Routledge contemporary China series 910 |cC0710mon |d3110-07 |gYBP |h554217 914 (OCoLC)on1235467442 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240508 |eprocessed |f1235467442 980 17238514 |i160.00 |j131.20 |n40031520235 982 |cf |q32101116251388 986 |hDS731.T77 |iW36 2022
