The rivers within these stories are not confined by national boundaries or limited to a single cultural lens. They traverse diverse landscapes, carrying with them the collective wisdom of humanity. This collection seeks to embrace this diversity, offering narratives that reflect the multiplicity of voices along the riverbanks. From the sacred narratives of the Ganges to the industrial echoes of the Rhine, each story contributes to the symphony of human experience. As we immerse ourselves in this mosaic of voices, we gain a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness that defines our world. Amid the stories told, there are narratives left untold—the voices silenced by history, the ecosystems imperiled by neglect, and the communities marginalized by systemic inequities. This collection is a testament to the ongoing journey of inclusivity, recognizing that the river of human experience is vast and ever-evolving. It is an acknowledgment of the unseen narratives that shape our world and a commitment to amplifying voices that deserve to be heard. "Our Majestic Rivers: Nature’s Lifelines" is an invitation to embark on a literary voyage—one that mirrors the eternal journey of rivers. As we navigate these narratives, we become travelers along the currents of time, carried by the stories that have shaped the landscapes we call home. In the ripples of these tales, we discover the reflection of our shared humanity and the profound impact we have on the rivers that sustain us.

Drawing on extensive fieldwork conducted in the 1980s and 1990s in southern Sichuan, this pathbreaking study examines the nature of ethnic consciousness and ethnic relations among local communities, focusing on the Nuosu (classified as Yi by the Chinese government), Prmi, Naze, and Han. It argues that even within the same regional social system, ethnic identity is formulated, perceived, and promoted differently by different communities at different times.The heart of the book consists of detailed case studies of three Nuosu village communities, along with studies of Prmi and Naze communities, smaller groups such as the Yala and Nasu, and Han Chinese who live in minority areas. These are followed by a synthesis that compares different configurations of ethnic identity in different communities and discusses the implications of these examples for our understanding of ethnicity and for the near future of China. This lively description and analysis of the region's complex ethnic identities and relationships constitutes an original and important contribution to the study of ethnic identity.Ways of Being Ethnic in Southwest China will be of interest to social scientists concerned with issues of ethnicity and state-building.Stevan Harrell is professor of anthropology at the University of Washington and curator of Asian ethnology at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture.
