Book excerpt: Iredale (human geography, U. of Wollongong, Australia), Naran Bilik (anthropology, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences) and Wang Su (Chinese National Institute of Educational Research, Beijing) address particular aspects of the mobility of minority populations within China. They begin with existing census data, and draw on a targeted survey in four regions: Inner Mongolia, Tibet, Xinjiang and Uyghur, and Beijing. They argue that while minorities have probably taken longer to start moving in significant numbers, they have now become part of the trend. The phenomena, they say, is manifestly urbanization. c.
