Ethnicity and Ecology in China

Chen Haiwen, a photographer, lead a team of 14 Chinese photographers through some 190,000 km in roughly 554 counties and cities. They have taken 57,228 pictures of the 56 Chinese ethnic groups to create a book entitled, “Harmonious China: A Sketch of China’s 56 Ethnicities”. The team spent one year travelling all over China to complete the project. This is a brief online version. We also have the printed photo book "Harmonious China :features of China's 56 ethnic groups 和谐中华 : 中国56个民族剪影)" in Main Library Stacks - Permanent Reserve.

The Center for Research on Tibet at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) was founded in 1987. The goal is to conceptualize and conduct research on Tibetan history, society, language, ecology/physiology and culture so as to understand traditional Tibet and the manner in which it has changed.
