Revitalizing Interculturality in Education Chinese Minzu as a Companion

Revitalizing Interculturality in Education Chinese Minzu as a Companion

China is often seen as a monolith outside its borders. However heterogeneity and interculturality have characterized the Middle Kingdom for centuries. Today China’s take on diversity is too easily disparaged or perceived as ambiguous – as if China was not legitimate to take part in conversations about it. The authors wish to contribute to global discussions about interculturality in education which have often been dominated by ‘Western’ voices by problematizing a very specific Chinese perspective called Minzu (‘ethnic’) education. Minzu is presented as a potential companion to other forms of diversity education (multicultural intercultural transcultural cross-cultural global education). Without claiming that they have found a miraculous and one-size-fits all recipe they argue that the lessons learnt from researching various aspects of Minzu in Chinese education can also help students researchers educators and decision-makers unthink and rethink the central issue of interculturality. As such the book introduces the complexity contradictions and benefits of Minzu while helping the reader consider how compatible and complementary it could be with discussions of interculturality in other parts of the world. The book also aims at making readers observe critically their own contexts. This book was written with an open mind and it should be read with the same. | Revitalizing Interculturality in Education Chinese Minzu as a Companion
