| Summary/Abstract |
Studies looking at gender and ethnic minority outcomes in China’s labour market have generally suggested that women and minorities are separately experiencing a wage disadvantage relative to males and the Han majority, respectively. But, what is the experience of this combined cohort, ethnic minority women? Using data from China’s 2005 one percent mini-census, this article discerns ethno-gender labour market outcomes by factoring education, labour force participation, working hours, age, family structure (e.g. married, number of dependents) and geography (e.g. urban/rural, bordering province). It surprisingly finds that ethnic minority women are less disadvantaged in the labour market than Han women. This is largely due to smaller penalties linked to marriage and having children.

| Summary/Abstract |
In contrast to the plenitude of studies which use speeches, newspaper articles and books in presenting the Chinese state's crafting of nationalist narratives, there are few studies that use texts specifically designed for mass education. The authors conducted a content analysis of children's textbooks published by the education arm of the Communist Party of China (CPC) to reveal the narratives used to bolster its nationalism. While some of the findings are consistent with existing theories, such as portrayals of China's glorious history, claims to territory, forms of government, a foreign "other" as an enemy and economic development, key nuances emerge. The textbooks claim only Taiwan, but not other contentious areas such as Tibet, as part of China; the CPC government is described as a democracy much more than a communist state; the foreign "other" is not only an enemy, but also an endorser; and development refers not only to the country's economic gains but also to an intimate sphere created around an urban and middle-class norm.
