WSJ on Manchu language and identity

October 7th, 2009 ·

Running between classes today, but wanted to call everybody’s attention to an excellent article in today’s Wall Street Journal by Ian Johnson on recent efforts to revive the Manchu language and Manchu identity in today’s PRC.  Be sure to check it out.

(Ps. The comment section on the accompanying article is also exhibit A for why I can’t be bothered with comments anymore.)
