Living with the State: Ambivalent Autonomy in the Yao Community in Jinxiu

摘要


How the state views ethnic people and how an ethnic minority views the state are two subjects worthy of research for political scientists and anthropologists alike. In the case of Jinxiu, the officials who act in the name of the state, allocate resources and make policy, downgrade ethnic communities to their performance according to some universalist criteria. They care most about how local cadres successfully develop the local economy and recruit local children for school. On the other hand, the Jinxiu communities show some agency for social change so that the Yao people are not wholly dependent on the state. All kinds of seemingly trivial activities and meanings outside of the state reproduce the Yao identities and reframe their image. Therefore, the state cannot monopolize the meaning of being Yao.
