Recenzii

"Other Chinas is a fine, compelling study that integrates theory in a nuanced and sensitive manner, with strategically deployed and fascinating ethnographic examples." - Ted Swedenburg, editor of Displacement, Diaspora, and Geographies of Identity "Litzinger cogently reveals the role of Yao elites in articulating, forming, and negotiating their contemporary situations and their history. Other Chinas is a substantial contribution to the literature on minority elite politics." - Louisa Schein, author of Minority Rules: The Miao and the Feminine in China's Cultural Politics "Other Chinas is a theoretically rich and multi-sited ethnography that challenges the dominant notion that the Han subject is always the face of Chinese nationalism. Litzinger demonstrates, with brilliant liveliness, how the paths to and from indigenism have long been at the center of the cultural politics of the socialist state. This book should be read by anyone interested in debates about subaltern agency, the writing of national histories, and the critique of post-socialist modernities." - Bruce Grant, Swarthmore College
