China is a vast nation comprised of hundreds of distinct ethnic communities, each with its own language, history, and culture. Today the government of China recognizes just 56 ethnic nationalities, or minzu, as groups entitled to representation. This controversial new book recounts the history of the most sweeping attempt to sort and categorize the nation's enormous population: the 1954 Ethnic Classification project (minzu shibie). Thomas S. Mullaney draws on recently declassified material and extensive oral histories to describe how the communist government, in power less than a decade, launched this process in ethnically diverse Yunnan. Mullaney shows how the government drew on Republican-era scholarship for conceptual and methodological inspiration as it developed a strategy for identifying minzu and how non-Party-member Chinese ethnologists produced a "scientific" survey that would become the basis for a policy on nationalities.
Thomas S. Mullaney is Assistant Professor of History at Stanford University.

The anthropologists among them, caught up in the currents of the time, nonetheless saw it among their tasks to understand these minorities. That Yunnan should have been a favorite site for study is understandable in this context. Tibet was too cold and too difficult to reach and breathe in, and Xinjiang was too Muslim and too arid. Yunnan was fabulously beautiful, had a perfect climate, and best of all for the romanticism of early anthropology, was a sort of Eden, full of sensuous, bare-breasted, innocent women who were a special attraction for puritan Confucian Han.

With these considerations in mind(i.e. the emergence of the “unified multinational” People's Republic is understandable only when we take into account the radical changes in the very meaning of term minzu and the new regime's distinct approach to the "national question"), then, the goal of this book is to move toward a deeper understanding of how the People's Republic came to tbe composed of fifty-six minzu by examining the history of ethnotaxonomic discourse and practice in the modern perild. In other words, the present study will produce what Jane Caplan and John Torpey have described in a Western context as "history of identification rather than of identities". The centerpiece of this study is China's "Ethnic Classification Project" or minzu shibie, a collective term for a series of Com... (查看原文)

博论。利用最新解密的档案资料和一位参与者的访谈，理顺了一次复杂的云南民族识别工作的线索。大致以时间顺序展开，顾及的问题意识所在层次较为全面，每一章末尾都有简单的机制分析，但最终的落脚却略感飘忽。直觉此书在历史学或民族学之外，具有丰富理论挖掘潜力：例如政治与学术研究的话语共生与角力（以及所产生的这一种semi-descriptive, semi-prescriptive的工作），或者对于“归类”作为... 博论。利用最新解密的档案资料和一位参与者的访谈，理顺了一次复杂的云南民族识别工作的线索。大致以时间顺序展开，顾及的问题意识所在层次较为全面，每一章末尾都有简单的机制分析，但最终的落脚却略感飘忽。直觉此书在历史学或民族学之外，具有丰富理论挖掘潜力：例如政治与学术研究的话语共生与角力（以及所产生的这一种semi-descriptive, semi-prescriptive的工作），或者对于“归类”作为一种统治模式的研究（“过程性的”、“自证预言的”归类）。 (展开)

讀完了。總體來說，有不少新意，尤其是1954年雲南民族識別的理論系譜追溯到20世紀初英國人Henry Rodolph Davies那裡，而不是簡單的蘇聯斯大林模式。但是除了幾處註釋錯誤外，全書還有一些可以商酌的地方，準備在期末作業，有關近年來雲南邊疆研究的評述里 集中討論下。

补标。多年前陈老师“民族”课程上读过，影响很深。现在发现自己的论文也可能会涉及到这段了。

感觉没有想象中的好，有不少地方应该展开。杨斌的书评写得很好。
