缅甸的“果敢族”:族称、来历、状况及跨国互动

The Ethnic Kokang in Burma: Its Name, Origin, Status and Cross-Border Interactivities

缅甸政府把聚居在中缅边境缅方一侧果敢地区的华侨、华人从族称上界定为“果敢族”。本文从历史学、民族学等学科的角度,对这个所谓的“果敢族”的来历、状况、与我国毗邻地区的跨国界互动关系以及缅甸政府将其定为“果敢族”的基本动因进行了论述。文章认为,“果敢族”的称谓从民族学上来讲是很不科学的,这些被称为“果敢族”的华侨、华人,事实上应当是缅甸华侨、华人中的“云南帮”。

The Burmese government defines the ethnic Chinese as the ethnic Kokang who are living in the Kokang area which fails into the territory of Burma along the Chinese-Burmese border. From the angles of history and ethnology, the article diagnoses the so-called ethnic Kokang in terms of origin, status, cross-border interactivities and the reasons why the Burmese government gives the ethnic Kokang definition. The author holds that the definition isn＇t scientific in terms of ethnology, the ethnic Chinese who are called the ethnic Kokang is in fact the “Yunnanese” among other ethnic Chinese in Burma.
