Cultural Genocide And Asian State Peripheries

This volume engages the concept and related notions of cultural hegemony, cultural erosion, cultural hybridity and cultural survival by considering whether five regimes in Asia deploy policies aimed at extirpating the language, religion, arts, customs or other elements of the cultures of non-dominant peoples.

Barry Sautman is Associate Professor of social science at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
