Based on research she conducted among native and migrant Han in Shanghai and Beijing, Aqsu (in Xinjiang), and the Sichuan-Yunnan border area, Agnieszka Joniak-Luthi uncovers and discusses these identity topographies. Bringing into focus the Han majority, which has long acted as an unexamined backdrop to ethnic minorities, Joniak-Luthi contributes to the emerging field of critical Han studies as she considers how the Han describe themselves - particularly what unites and divides them - as well as the functions of Han identity and the processes through which it is maintained and reproduced. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Han\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to scholars and students of contemporary China, anthropology, and ethnic and cultural studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Agnieszka Joniak-Luthi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0295994673\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780295994673\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Washington Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2015","brand":"Agnieszka Joniak-Luthi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064817365247,"sku":"9780295994673","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_713cd22f-959a-4e35-9a6d-5f9c5d52bae5.jpg?v=1768671226","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-han-agnieszka-joniak-luthi-9780295994673","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
