This book unravels the workings behind these promises through the story of remaking Meili, a Dong ethnic minority village nestled along the margins of China, into a “Traditional Village” heritage site. In a past riven by deep political and societal disruptions, Meili becomes a medium for contesting, mediating and continuously inventing representations of tradition that aligns with the Chinese Communist Party’s mission towards continuity and stability. The outcome is an original depiction of the compromises that shape heritage-making in a rural ethnic corner of China. Filled with rich, fine-grained narrative and analysis, Suvi Rautio offers a unique lens to the politics of inventing tradition and its far-reaching consequences in steering China's national identity under Xi Jinping rule. Suvi Rautio is a social and cultural anthropologist working on heritage-making and the politics of memory in contemporary China. From spring 2025, she will be a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Fellow at City University New York and the University of Helsinki. 0aAsiaxPolitics and government. 0aEthnology. 0aCulture. 0aRegional economics. 0aSpatial economics.14aAsian Politics.24aRegional Cultural Studies.24aRegional and Spatial Economics.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978981973838008iPrinted edition:z978981973840308iPrinted edition:z978981973841040uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-97-3839-7
