Alle unter einem Dach: Nationale Minderheiten und die Geschichtsschreibung in der VR China

This article focuses on the paradigmatic debate on finding a proper mode to include China’s national minorities into Chinese history. The old “dynastic” pattern of history-writing was no longer considered to be sufficient, since it solely focused – apart from the so-called Conquest dynasties – on the history of the Han people. To overcome this limited approach, Chinese historians, beginning in the 1950s, engaged in a debate on the appropriate modes of historiographical integration. This article aims at presenting the debate by analyzing its two phases (the 1950s/1960s and 1980s) in their respective political context. Furthermore, it will introduce the main agents of the debate and their individual viewpoints.
