Resumen

ESCALANTE, Mariana. Ethnic Minorities and State Nationalism in China. Méx.cuenca pac [online]. 2023, vol.12, n.34, pp.97-120.  Epub 10-Mar-2023. ISSN 2007-5308.  https://doi.org/10.32870/mycp.v12i34.788.

This paper analyses the role of ethnic minorities in Chinese nationalist discourse. Nationalism is understood as a fundamental instrument for identity construction, territorial integrity and state stability. The central argument assumes that: 1) the problem of minorities is the result of a long historical tradition, the country’s own definition of nation or ethnicity (minzu 民族) and the very existence of China as a civilization, and 2) Chinese nationalism promotes the insertion of national minorities (shaoshu minzu 少数民族) based on the principle of “unity in diversity” (duoyuan yiti 多元一体). Through a qualitative-historical analysis, ethnic minorities are addressed in Confucianism, the Qing dynasty, the Republican era and Communism to the present day. This is done through some examples of recent official discourse and a quantitative analysis of the degree of national pride of the main ethnic groups and the religions practiced by them.

Palabras llave : Chinese nationalism; ethnic minorities; national minorities; ethnic integration; multi-ethnic state.
