Features: ;This book examines ethnic minority literature as a whole. It aims to guide graduate students to turn their attention from case studies of ethnic minority literary phenomena to the overall picture of ethnic minority literature while conducting individual research. This book employs new ways of thinking to conduct an overall study of ethnic minority literature, which is still a very preliminary attempt. In many aspects, it has not yet achieved proficiency and is far from reaching an ideal state. Literature studies in the 21st century will appear in a completely new form, achieving a revolutionary transformation in ways of thinking and shaping a fresh landscape for ethnic minority literature. This task will be carried out by the new generation of the 21st century. Knowledge is a continuous transmission across generations. This book involves several young Ph.D. students in the writing process under the guidance of their supervisors, also aiming to let them inherit the academic experiences and accumulated knowledge of the older generation through practical training in academic attitudes, professional training, research methods, and thinking habits, better realizing the intellectual relay between two generations and shouldering the heavy responsibilities placed upon them by the new century.
