It shows how the Lahu are especially vulnerable because of their lack of political representatives and a state educated elite which can engage with, and be part of, the government administrative system. The Lahu are one of many relatively small ethnic minorities in China--overall the book provides an example of how the Chinese government approaches these relatively small ethnic minorities."--Publisher's description. 410 0$aRoutledge contemporary China series ;$v85. 606 $aLahu (Asian people)$zChina, Southwest 606 $aEthnology$zChina, Southwest 606 $aMinorities$xGovernment policy$zChina, Southwest 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLahu (Asian people) 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aMinorities$xGovernment policy 676 $a305.895/4 700 $aMa$b Jianxiong.$0887997 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462924103321 996 $aThe Lahu minority in Southwest China$91983567 997 $aUNINA
