520 $a In this dissertation I examine the interaction between an ethnic minority, the Yi, and the state in the context of health care practice in southwest China during the process of modernization and nation building.
520 $a My research suggests that the relationships between tradition and modernity are far more complicated than they may have seemed to be. Not only are they intertwined in people's daily life, but the transformation between them is not unidirectional. The acceptance of new knowledge and ideas often proceeds through the path of pro-existing channels of information flow based on traditional ways of thinking. Tradition is not necessarily an obstacle to modernization; nor is it just a filter through which external ideas and practices are passed for selective assimilation. Rather it is the basis and bridge for creative development. Moreover, its effective function in this regard depends upon the social structures that connect a people or a community to the outside. Ethnicity will not wither by absorbing ideas and materials from outside a group. Conversely, even strong political pressures cannot force radical changes in medical systems.
520 $a This study is based on fourteen months of fieldwork among two subgroups of the Yi, Lolopo and Nuosu, living in the two Yi autonomous prefectures in southwest China. After over forty year's development, these two subgroups show quite different levels of both receptivity to biomedicine and incorporation of state-run health care service into their own medical systems. This work provides a comprehensive ethnographic account of health care practices in the two communities. Throughout this research, I examine the cultural and historical discrepancies which contribute to the different reactions towards the state-run health care network and biomedicine, and present the interplay of political, economic, religious, and cognitive factors in people's medical practice and ethnic identity.
