Creating the Zhuang: Ethnic Politics in China

Katherine Palmer Kaup

0/5 ( ratings)

Often dismissed by scholars as being no different than the Han majority of China, the Zhuang of Guangxi were recognized by Chinese rulers for the first time when the Chinese Communist Party offered them their own "autonomous" region. Kaup analyzes the decision to recognize the Zhuang identity by the CCP as an effort to shape regional and ethnic loyalties towards integration with the centralized state. Discussing how Zhuang grassroots movements came into being as the CCP withdrew support for special treatment, she finds that calls for integration from the Zhuang has increased. Annotation c.
