Invisible China
This was kind of disappointing. The premise is super interesting, the introduction was great and really drew me in, but there just wasn't enough depth in this book. The authors travel around China talking with people of different minority groups. The problem, for me, was that they didn't give enough background to some of these groups, and there's not much that links the book together. It's a fine read if you want a jumpy travelogue and some very basic information about select minorities in China. If you're looking for anything in-depth or that has an overarching theme or question to answer, this book isn't it.
