Summary:

Sociological Research at Peking University plays an important role in this in China. Academics and professionals in Peking University have published many papers and monographs of high academic quality. The research output has contributed to a deeper understanding of sociological theory and practice in China, thereby achieving great impact on both domestic and overseas Chinese readers. To broaden the readership, the Department of Sociology is pleased to join hands with World Scientific Publishing Company to launch the Beida Series on Sociology and Anthropology. The series selects the most outstanding articles and translates them into English. This series will be of value to international readers interested in sociology, anthropology, social demography, social policy and social work in China. De-Politicization of Ethnic Questions in China e-politicizing issues of ethnicity is a new theoretical approach to study ethnic questions actively propounded and elaborated by Professor Ma Rong of Sociology Department of Peking University in the past ten years. In the recent years, this theoretical approach has aroused biggish responses from the academic community in Mainland China, the relevant government departments, and the general public. It is likely to elicit vigorous discussions in the years ahead. The book contains eight selected chapters which represent the main contributions to the debate. The first chapter by Ma Rong is the key paper where in he lays out his main ideas and arguments. The remaining chapters deal with both positive and negative responses to the first chapter, and his replies to them. Book jacket.
