oapen-20.500.12657-758082024-03-28T09:54:54Z The Han Joniak-Luthi, Agnieszka Asian Studies, Anthropology, Ethnic Studies Open-access edition: DOI 10.6069/9780295805979 This ethnography explores contemporary narratives of “Han-ness,” revealing the nuances of what Han identity means today in relation to that of the fifty-five officially recognized minority ethnic groups in China, as well as in relation to home place identities and the country’s national identity. Based on research she conducted among native and migrant Han in Shanghai and Beijing, Aqsu (in Xinjiang), and the Sichuan-Yunnan border area, Agnieszka Joniak-Luthi uncovers and discusses these identity topographies. Bringing into focus the Han majority, which has long acted as an unexamined backdrop to ethnic minorities, Joniak-Luthi contributes to the emerging field of critical Han studies as she considers how the Han describe themselves - particularly what unites and divides them - as well as the functions of Han identity and the processes through which it is maintained and reproduced. The Han will appeal to scholars and students of contemporary China, anthropology, and ethnic and cultural studies. 2023-08-28T08:10:37Z 2023-08-28T08:10:37Z 2015 book ONIX_20230828_9780295805979_21 9780295805979 9780295994673 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/75808 eng Studies on Ethnic Groups in China application/pdf application/epub+zip n/a Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International 9780295805979.pdf 9780295805979.epub https://uwapress.uw.edu/book/9780295994673/the-han University of Washington Press University of Washington Press 10.6069/9780295805979 10.6069/9780295805979 bf4ecffe-ae79-41c6-a4b1-18e7b7aac1b9 9780295805979 9780295994673 University of Washington Press 200 Seattle open access
