Today the government of China recognizes just 56 ethnic nationalities, or minzu, as groups entitled to representation. This controversial new book recounts the history of the most sweeping attempt to sort and categorize the nation's enormous population: the 1954 Ethnic Classification project (minzu shibie). Thomas S. Mullaney draws on recently declassified material and extensive oral histories to describe how the communist government, in power less than a decade, launched this process in ethnically diverse Yunnan. Mullaney shows how the government drew on Republican-era scholarship for conceptual and methodological inspiration as it developed a strategy for identifying minzu and how non-Party-member Chinese ethnologists produced a "scientific" survey that would become the basis for a policy on nationalities. 410 0$aAsia--local studies/global themes ;$v18. 517 3 $aEthnic classification in modern China 606 $aEthnology$zChina$xHistory$y20th century$9lat$2NLI 606 $aEthnicity$zChina$9lat$2NLI 606 $aMinorities$xGovernment policy$zChina$9lat$2NLI 607 $aChina$xPopulation$9lat$2NLI 610 $a1954 ethnic classification project. 610 $aasia. 610 $achinese government. 610 $acommunist government. 610 $acontroversial. 610 $acultural histories. 610 $adistinct languages. 610 $adiversity. 610 $aethnic classification. 610 $aethnic communities. 610 $aethnic histories. 610 $aethnic nationalities. 610 $aethnic representation. 610 $aethnographers. 610 $aglobal politics. 610 $aminzu shibie. 610 $aminzu. 610 $amodern china. 610 $amodern history. 610 $amulticulturalism. 610 $anationalism. 610 $anon party chinese ethnologists. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $aoral histories. 610 $apolicy on nationalities. 610 $ayunnan. 615 7$aEthnology$xHistory 615 7$aEthnicity 615 7$aMinorities$xGovernment policy 676 $a305.800951 700 $aMullaney$b Thomas S$g(Thomas Shawn)$01070354 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819778803321 996 $aComing to terms with the nation$92558299 997 $aUNINA
