Extract
In this fascinating study, Uradyn E. Bulag argues that the discourse of “unity of nationalities” (minzu tuanjie) conceals sharp fissures between class, national and racial definitions of China. Embracing children's stories, rituals, historiography, political intrigue, poetry and sexuality, he narrates formative episodes of Mongolian identity, demonstrating their critical importance in constructing modern China.
