The Qiang are one of China’s 55 officially recognized minority groups and represent one of the country’s oldest ethnoracial identities. Professor Yanshuo Zhang of Pomona College is investigating how this Himalayan group carves out “creative belonging” through cultural practices within a globalizing China. Spanning literature, visual culture, and anthropology, this talk proposes a new scholarly paradigm for incorporating the Asia-Pacific into global studies of race and identity, drawing on her new book, “Creative Belonging: The Qiang and Multiethnic Imagination in Modern China.”
