In a comprehensive and up-to-date account of a minority Chinese group (the Miao) and its education and development, the author shows how, given the right conditions, a minority nationality such as the Miao can be empowered and play a major part in its nation's economic development. Using historical data and information gathered from personal interviews, the authors offer a ethnographic picture of the complex relationships between minority nationalities and mainstream Chinese society. It is an account of students' lives, their families and the villages in which they live, and shows that education is vital if these minorities are to become full citizens in China and participate fully in the country's modernization.
