- W3151565799 abstract "Enze Han, Contestation and Adaptation: The Politics of National Identity in China, Oxford and New York: Oxford University Press, 201 3, 207 pp. + xviiHow various ethnic minority groups in China come to contest or adapt to Chinese national identity? Enze Han struggles with this question in Contestation and Adaptation: The Politics of National Identity in China by analysing different political strategies adopted by five major ethnic groups in China with regard to their negotiations of national identity with the Chinese state. Challenging the conventional approaches that focus overwhelmingly on policies and practices of the authoritarian Chinese state, Han argues that domestic factors alone are not sufficient enough for political and international factors that condition ethnic groups' preference formation as well as their propensity for national identity are even more important (p. 1 47). Developing his own theoretical framework that includes two independent variables - if an ethnic group is economically better-offthan its external kin relations and whether the group receives substantial international support, Han aims to systematically examine politically active cases together with the other nonactive cases to unveil how different groups have resisted or acquiesced in their dealing with the Chinese state and majority Han Chinese society (p. 1 9).After laying the theoretical foundation of his study and presenting the main theoretical configurations in Chapter 1 , Han succinctly outlines in the second chapter the general situation of ethnic politics and nationbuilding efforts in China by picturing a historical narrative and recent developments. With this background information in place, the following five chapters proceed to analyse five major ethnic minority groups to explore what role external cultural ties and international supports play in the making of each group's national identity contestation and adaption process. Han finds out that four of his selected groups - the Uyghurs, Koreans, Mongols, and Dai - all fit relatively well into one of the framework's four scenarios. Both the Uyghurs and Koreans perceive evident economic, cultural, and political appeal of their external kin relations, but the Uyghurs receive vast ideological and material support from abroad to facilitate their actual national identity contestation, whereas the Koreans do not acquire any external support that aims to politicize their cause. The Mongols, on the other hand, observe better political and cultural alternatives in the country ofMongolia, but they do not consider it as being able to present a stronger economic model, nor do they receive any explicit support from their external kins. Thus the Mongols in general did not and do not tend to actively contest the Chinese national identity. In contrast to the Uyghurs, although the Dai have cultural relations outside China, the bleak political and economic situations in Burma and Laos encourage the Dai to cherish the benefit of being part of China, so that they are willing to adapt themselves to the Chinese national identity and even to become assimilated. The Tibetan situation is chosen as a theory-testing case to demonstrate the general validity of Han's theoretical framework. By delineating the Tibetan identity contestation movement in the past sixty years, Han persuasively shows that international support plays a crucial role in the pattern of political mobilization of the Tibetan nationalists. …" @default.
