Ethnic Studies is one of China’s social sciences, and its boundaries are somewhat blurred. It is closely linked to Ethnology, Anthropology, and Sociology, as well as History, Archaeology, Linguistics, and the Political Sciences. (Historically, there has been a complicated relationship between these three disciplines, and it has been difficult to draw clear boundaries between them. For related issues, please refer to Wang 2010; Yang 2012.) All of these disciplines look at ethnicity from different perspectives. They use different methods and have a different understanding of the core concept of ethnicity. However, what they all share in common is the same background, and therefore, they have witnessed the nation being saved and (re)built. How do you rebuild a modern country to be “multi-ethnic” on the ruins of an internally pluralistic dynasty? This has been a common question for years among Ethnic Studies academics in various disciplines.

摘要

Ethnic Studies is one of China’s social sciences, and its boundaries are somewhat blurred. It is closely linked to Ethnology, Anthropology, and Sociology, as well as History, Archaeology, Linguistics, and the Political Sciences. (Historically, there has been a complicated relationship between these three disciplines, and it has been difficult to draw clear boundaries between them. For related issues, please refer to Wang 2010; Yang 2012.) All of these disciplines look at ethnicity from different perspectives. They use different methods and have a different understanding of the core concept of ethnicity. However, what they all share in common is the same background, and therefore, they have witnessed the nation being saved and (re)built. How do you rebuild a modern country to be “multi-ethnic” on the ruins of an internally pluralistic dynasty? This has been a common question for years among Ethnic Studies academics in various disciplines.
