34. History of Ethnic Classification in Modern China དེང་རབས་རྒྱ་ནག་གི་མི་རིགས་སྡེ་ཚན་འབྱེད་སྟངས་ཀྱི་ལོ་རྒྱུས།
Update: 2021-02-15
Description
The modern Chinese empire (PRC) hides its colonial set-up by camouflaging itself as a multi-minzu (nationality/ethnic) nation-state. Central to this discourse is the idea of minzu. However, historically, this is a new concept. What is the origin of the term Minzu? How did the contemporary 56 minzu in China come into being?
I discuss these questions and more in this khyeltam short episode on Thomas Mullaney’s book “Coming to terms with the Nation.”
