美国学者白荷婷的《创造壮族:中国的族群政治》是研究壮族的经典经验研究之作。这个研究揭示了中国共产党和中国政府认定在各少数民族中人口最多的壮族,并成立广西壮族自治区的过程。作者总结了壮族地区和国家政治互动的三个时期,指出中央政府对广西地区实施民族政策的目的,是要将壮族整合进一个更大的国家政治体系中,所以政府必须发展壮族文化,提高壮族教育水平和保护壮族语言。但改革开放时期,东西部地区的经济差距在逐步拉大,这也在一定程度上使得壮族的“族群———民族主义”在逐渐提升。本文通过比较中西方族群研究范式的差异性以及此项研究的不足之处,试图对我国的民族政策及制度设计中的局限性作一些再思考。
American Scholar Bai Heiting’s “Creating Zhuang: Chinese Ethnic Politics” is a study of Zhuang classical experience. This study reveals the process by which the Communist Party of China and the Chinese government identify the Zhuang ethnic group with the most populace among ethnic minorities and set up the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The author summarizes the three periods of political interaction between the Zhuang area and the state and points out that the purpose of the Central Government in implementing the ethnic policy in Guangxi is to integrate the Zhuang into a larger national political system. Therefore, the government must develop Zhuang culture and improve Zhuang Educational level and protection of Zhuang language. However, during the period of reform and opening up, the economic gap between the eastern and western regions is gradually widening, which to some extent makes Zhuang ethnic groups - nationalism gradually rising. By comparing the differences between the research paradigms of ethnic groups in China and western countries and the shortcomings of this research, this article tries to make some rethinkings on the limitations of our national policies and institutional design.
