Cover of Contestation and Adaptation

Contestation and Adaptation

Tha author unravels the complexities of national-identity contestation and adaptation among various ethnic minority groups in China, focusing on the interactions between domestic and international forces that inform ethnic groups' national-identity contestation and positing a theoretical framework where international factors play a significant role in determining whether ethnic groups contest the national identities imposed on them. It argues that whether ethnic groups contest those national identities depends on their perceiving a better, achievable alternative.
