《中国西南的族群之路》是斯蒂文.郝瑞教授族群研究的代表作,在此书中他将凉山彝族地区不同群体的族群性划分为四种模式,并对四种族群性模式的成因进行对比和解释。通过对此的解读和思考,希望能对郝瑞的族群理论有更为全面的理解,同时也对理解西南族群关系以及处理当前民族问题具有重要的参考价值。 The “Road to Ethnic Groups in Southwestern China” is a masterpiece of the study of the ethnic group by Steven Horry, in which he divided the ethnic groups of different groups in the Liangshan Yi ethnic group into four modes and analyzed the causes of the four ethnic modes For comparison and explanation. Through the reading and thinking of this, I hope to have a more comprehensive understanding of Hao Rui’s theory of ethnic groups, as well as an important reference value for understanding the relations between the ethnic groups in the Southwest and dealing with the current ethnic issues.
