State schooling and ethnic identity : the politics of a Tibetan Neidi secondary school in China
"State Schooling and Ethnic Identity examines the influence of state schooling on Tibetan students' ethnic identity. Zhiyong Zhu has developed this case study of a Tibetan middle school after a preferential educational policy was put in place by the Chinese government in the early 1980s. By examining and analyzing student diaries, Zhu has developed a theoretical model for the construction of ethnic identity, while taking into account the influence over ethnic identity wielded by the state. State Schooling and Ethnic Identity is a unique study appropriate for readers with interests in China or Tibetan studies, educational theory, anthropology, and sociology."--BOOK JACKET
