I read “Invisible China” written by Colin Legerton and Jacob Rawson, and published by the Chicago Review Press in 2009. This book was 232 pages long, and the ISBN # is 978-1-55652-814-9. Like both of the authors, before writing the book, I had no prior information or knowledge about the 56 different ethnic minorities in China. It is very interesting because, out of the 56 different groups, the Han people make up 90% of the population, while the 55 minority groups make up the remaining 10%. Because the minority groups make up a mere fraction of the population, many people are not aware of said groups, which is why the authors defined the regions with the minority groups as “Invisible China”. Despite being a small fraction of the Chinese population, Legerton and Rawson do a great job explaining how significant of a role ethnic minorities have played in forming the large, populous country of China. One thing I liked from this book was that Legerton and Rawson went into detail about specific ethnic minorities in China like the Uyghurs, Kinh, or even the small Jewish group, but they also showed how the Han group represented the ethnic minorities very poorly, demonstrating why the authors defined the minority groups as a part of “Invisible China”. I also like the addition of photographs in the book because the photos thoroughly illustrate the travels of the authors, the living conditions of ethnic minority groups in China, and how the Han group represents the ethnic minority groups. Despite this book being very detailed and informative, there were many times where villagers would ask the authors about politics, but the authors would ignore their comments. I think it would have been nice if they had civil debates about the American and Chinese governments in order to see differing perspectives on life. Overall, “Invisible China” opened my eyes to parts of China that I had never known about and has made me more knowledgeable on the ethnic minorities in China.
