Abstract

In February 2021, Asian Ethnicity formed a new team of editors-in-chief, led by Ian G. Baird, professor of geography, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Matthew W. King, associate professor of religious studies, University of California, Riverside, and Debojyoti Das, lecturer, University of Sussex, Falmer. The new team of editors-in-chief has geographical expertise in Southeast Asia, Inner Asia, and South Asia; while disciplinarily speaking, they are located in religious studies and history, social anthropology and geography. This collective leadership signals a change in the journal’s history and might further lead the journal to other uncharted territories in the future. Before this new team, the three former editors-in-chief of Asian Ethnicity were all more engaged with studies of China. Colin Mackerras, the founding editor, is an Australian sinologist and is currently emeritus professor at Griffith University specializing in Chinese culture. He has published widely on Chinese ethnicities. The second editor-in-chief, Chih-yu Shih, started his term in 2008. Shih is a professor of international relations and has also published widely on identities and nationalism in China. Shih thrives in both the discipline of political science and China studies. After working under Shih’s guidance as an executive editor for Asian Ethnicity for several years, Julie Yu-Wen Chen became the third editor-in-chief of the journal in late 2015. Chen, a former student of Shih, is also active in both political science and China studies. Her interest in ethnic politics in China focuses on the Uyghurs’ diasporic experience. In this short article, Mackerras shares his recollection of the birth of the journal and his observations about the journal’s development over its twenty-one-year trajectory. After that, Shih and Chen discuss the new elements that they have added to the journal with the hope that the new generation of editors-in-chief can continue to bring the journal to the next level of intellectual creativity.

21年的亚裔：短暂回忆

2021年2月，《亚裔》杂志成立了一个新的主编团队，由威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校地理学教授Ian G.Baird、加州大学河滨分校宗教研究副教授Matthew W.King和萨塞克斯大学法尔默分校讲师Debojyoti Das领导。新的主编团队在东南亚、内亚和南亚拥有地理专业知识；从学科上讲，它们分别位于宗教研究和历史、社会人类学和地理学。这种集体领导标志着该杂志历史的改变，并可能在未来进一步将该杂志带到其他未知的领域。在这个新团队之前，《亚洲民族》杂志的三位前主编都更多地从事中国研究。创始编辑Colin Mackerras是一位澳大利亚汉学家，目前是格里菲斯大学专门研究中国文化的名誉教授。他发表了大量关于中国民族的文章。第二任总编辑志于2008年上任。施是一位国际关系教授，也发表了大量关于中国身份认同和民族主义的文章。施在政治学和中国研究两个领域都很成功。在施的指导下担任《亚洲民族》杂志执行主编数年后，陈玉文（Julie Yu Wen Chen）于2015年底成为该杂志的第三任主编。陈是施的前学生，同时活跃于政治学和中国研究。她对中国民族政治的兴趣集中在维吾尔人的流散经历上。在这篇短文中，Mackerras分享了他对该杂志诞生的回忆，以及他对该期刊21年发展轨迹的观察。之后，施和陈讨论了他们为杂志增添的新元素，希望新一代的主编能继续把杂志带到更高的智力创造力水平。

期刊介绍： In the twenty-first century ethnic issues have assumed importance in many parts of the world. Until recently, questions of Asian ethnicity and identity have been treated in a balkanized fashion, with anthropologists, economists, historians, political scientists, sociologists and others publishing their studies in single-discipline journals. Asian Ethnicity provides a cross-disciplinary, international venue for the publication of well-researched articles about ethnic groups and ethnic relations in the half of the world where questions of ethnicity now loom largest. Asian Ethnicity covers any time period, although the greatest focus is expected to be on the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
