Open-access edition: DOI 10.6069/9780295800417The communist Chinese state promotes the distinctiveness of the many minorities within its borders. At the same time, it is vigilant in suppressing groups that threaten the nation's unity or its modernizing goals. In Communist Multiculturalism, Susan K. McCarthy examines three minority groups in the province of Yunnan, focusing on the ways in which they have adapted to the government's nationbuilding and minority nationalities policies since the 1980s. She reveals that Chinese government policy is shaped by perceptions of what constitutes an authentic cultural group and of the threat ethnic minorities may constitute to national interests. These minority groups fit no clear categories but rather are practicing both their Chinese citizenship and the revival of their distinct cultural identities. For these groups, being minority is, or can be, one way of being national.Minorities in the Chinese state face a paradox: modern, cosmopolitan, sophisticated people -- good Chinese citizens, in other words -- do not engage in unmodern behaviors. Minorities, however, are expected to engage in them.

Defining Moments gives clear direction on how individuals can plan and execute a Holy Spirit led, faith-based trip of their own.So many tour groups do an excellent job of building travel itineraries along with detailed historical tours. The missing component of these trips has been the Holy Spirit connection for the traveler to experience in their own life. Defining Moments is an essential guide to help travelers transform their faith-based travels from a historical tour to a life-changing spiritual revelation experience: from their head to their heart. It is intended to move people to a Spirit led discovery method of interacting with God’s powerful revelation of what happened at a place and how it impacts the traveler’s life today, rather than simply a fact-based, historical teaching method. Defining Moments sets out to accomplish several goals: Encourage people to take faith-based vacations and turn them into defining moments that will shape their lives foreverHelp people see the real possibility of not just having their heads filled with facts regarding a vacation spot, but to have their hearts shifted and changed in ways they never imaginedTeach the practical ways of meeting God in powerful and personal ways that will restore, revive, and re-energize their faithInform people of the important places in Christian history so they can be strengthened and inspired in their faith

“A witty, useful guide” (People) to apologies, why they matter, and the healing power of saying you’re sorry, from the dynamic duo behind the acclaimed SorryWatch site.It’s a truth universally acknowledged that terrible apologies are the worst. We’ve all been on the receiving end, and oh, how they make us seethe. Horrible public apologies—excuse-laden, victim blame-y, weaselly statements—often go viral instantaneously, whether they’re from a celebrity, a politician, or a blogger. We all recognize bad apologies when we hear them. So why is it so hard to apologize well? How can we do better? How could they do better? Marjorie Ingall and Susan McCarthy show us the way with this fresh book that is “philosophically deep, crisply reported, and funny as heck all the way through” (Clive Thompson, author of Coders). Drawing on a deep well of research in psychology, sociology, law, and medicine, they explain why a good apology is hard to find and why it doesn’t have to be. Alongside their six (and a half)-step formula for apologizing beautifully, Ingall and McCarthy also delve into how to respond to a bad apology; why corporations, celebrities, and governments seldom apologize well; how to teach children to apologize; how gender and race affect both apologies and forgiveness; and most of all, why good apologies are essential, powerful, and restorative.
