SUMMARY:Developing African Ethnic Studies with Chinese Characteristics: Fie
 ld Work and Ethnographic Study in Zimbabwe
DESCRIPTION:\n	Shi Lin (Professor\, School of Ethnology and Sociology\, Min
 zu University of China\; HYI Visiting Scholar)\n	Chair and Discussant: Jo
 hn Comaroff (Hugh K. Foster Professor of African and African American Stud
 ies and of Anthropology\, Harvard University)\n\n\n	Co-sponsored by the Fa
 irbank Center for Chinese Studies\n\n	In the past 4 to 5 years\, Chinese a
 nthropologists and ethnologists have begun conducting field work and ethno
 graphical studies in Africa. The speaker will give a historical review of 
 Chinese African ethnic studies and then discuss her field work and ethnogr
 aphic study in Zimbabwe. While traditional Chinese African ethnic studies 
 have made some achievements in areas such as African nationalism and Afric
 an cultures\, there is a need for more participation from anthropological 
 perspectives and methodologies\, and more direct field work and ethnograph
 ic studies in Africa. At present\, an “African studies fever” has emer
 ged in Chinese academic circles. Scholars are studying African issues from
  different disciplines\, in an effort to explore and set up a new school o
 f African studies with Chinese characteristics\, with African ethnic studi
 es as one important component. Moreover\, African ethnic studies based on 
 field work bear special importance to Chinese anthropology and ethnology\,
  since they expand the field and mark a breakthrough for Chinese anthropol
 ogical and ethnological studies\, which have mainly focused on Chinese eth
 nic issues. The field of African ethnic studies with Chinese characteristi
 cs constitutes a new global development orientation for Chinese anthropolo
 gy and ethnology.
