Abstract

This book provides unique insights into the challenges and potential solutions to alleviate poverty in western China. Many people are interested in China's economic and social development; the development of Tibet is an important part of this narrative. Unlike big cities in the east of China, Tibet is still underdeveloped, with severe poverty, relatively poor communications, poor infrastructure, transport links, and limited social services. Using deep and well-researched analyses, learned Chinese scholars share their policy insights, experience and knowledge of the underlying causes and potent

Abstract

"One of Southeast Asia's most significant 'overseas Chinese' communities is that of the Hokkien Chinese--Han originally from Fujian Province--who have resided in Rangoon since the colonial era. This ethnography, the first study in English of the history and place of ethnic Chinese in Burmese society, delineates how they have negotiated the rise of nationalism in both China and Burma and the numerous political and economic challenges that have beset their ancestral and adopted homes. Of central importance to the ability of even fourth- and fifth-generation descendants of Chinese to retain distinctive characteristics, while also acquiring hybrid identities, is the organization of the Chinese quarter in Rangoon around Buddhist temples and associated ritual and educational activities. The Chinese in Rangoon is both an intimate exploration of this community and an illumination of twenty-first-century Burma (Myanmar) during its emergence from decades of isolation imposed by a repressive military regime. As one of the few scholars able to carry out research during this period of transition, Jayde Roberts is able to provide a nuanced view of the Sino-Burmese and the urban environment of Rangoon"--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

This text provides an in-depth study of an ethnic minority region during the first decade of the People's Republic of China: the Amdo region in the Sino-Tibetan borderland. Employing previously inaccessible local archives as well as other rare primary sources, the work demonstrates that the Communist Party's goal in 1950s Amdo was not just state-building, but also nation-building.
