About this ebook

The book explores how ethnic minority culture is integrated into school practices inside and outside classrooms in Southwest China.

The author investigates the challenges in teaching and administration teachers have encountered in Chinese ethnic minority regions, specifically problems faced by teachers in ethnic Dai and ethnic Tujia; and how pre-service teachers are trained in current teacher education programmes in ethnic minority regions. Drawing on the theoretical frameworks of multicultural education and internal orientalism, the author contextualises multicultural education by analysing Chinese academic debates on the subject as well as investigating how political, social and cultural forces influence education for ethnic minorities in Southwest China.

The book will appeal to scholars and graduate students in the fields of education, cultural studies, China studies and ethnic studies.
