In Nation and Ethnicity: Chinese Discourses on History, Historiography, and Nationalism (1900s-1920s) Julia C. Schneider give an analysis of nationalist and historiographical discourses among late imperial and early republican Chinese thinkers. In particular, she researches their approaches towards non-Chinese people within the Qing Empire and the question on how to integrate them into a Chinese nation-state.
Non-Chinese people, mainly Manchus, Mongols, Tibetans, and Turkic Muslims, (Uyghurs), have not been considered as important factors in the history of early Chinese nationalism so far. But Chinese nationalist and historiographical discourses tell not only a lot about the Chinese image of the Other, but also shed new light on the images of the Chinese Self and its assumed ability to assimilate and integrate other ethnicities.

"Julia C. Schneider’s Nation and Ethnicity: Chinese Discussions on History, Historiography, and Nationalism is a timely and important contribution to the scholarship on Chinese nationalism and nationalist historiography at a time when the domestic ethnic issue has loomed large as a potential catalyst for political instability in the People’s Republic of China, and the “nationality policies” implemented since the 1950s have been contested... Overall, Schneider’s book is a very compelling study that delves deep into source materials and makes valid critical argument about the racialist/orientalist bent of early 20th century Chinese thinkers and historians when representing Chinese history and positioning non-Han peoples in it."
