Minority Rules by Louisa Schein

Minority Rules by Louisa Schein

Talks about gender, ethnicity, and nation in China, as seen through an ethnography of the changing cultural production of the Miao, a minority population.

“Minority Rules is breathtakingCombining sophisticated cultural analysis with sharp attention to political economy, Schein illuminates not only the way the Miao have been constructed historically but how they shape their own identities through cultural performances, whether in state theater or for tourists.”—Lila Abu-Lughod, author of Veiled Sentiments and Writing Women’s Worlds
“A highly readable exploration of the cultural politics of reform-era China that deserves a broad readership among anthropologists, historians, and those in cultural studies.”—Ann Anagnost, author of National Past-Times: Narrative, Representation, and Power in Modern China

Louisa Schein is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Rutgers University.
