Abstract

The article, based on fieldwork, is concerned with ethnicity and religious traditions of inhabitants of the Hunan province in Southern China. The authors distinguish two different type of Sinicization taking place in the province: voluntary Sinicization, which is due to internal migration, and extraneous Sinicization, caused by intentional activities of the government.
