Types of minorities and typical sources of minority conflict, the

Minority as a group: A group distinguished
by being on the margins of power, status or the allocation of resources within the
society.
‘Visible minority’ refer to those
racial or ethnic groups in a society which are marginal from the power and economic
structure of society, not to those which are few in number. In South Africa, Blacks are
the statistical majority but were for countless decades a social minority. Women can also
be identified as a social minority group.
A small group of people differing from the
rest of a community in ethnic origin, religion, language, or culture; a member of such a
group. In India, muslims and christians are minority as a group.

Dislocating
China : Muslims, Minorities, and Other Subaltern Subjects
Book by Dru C. Gladney
Western scholars have tended to accept the Chinese representation of non-Han groups as
marginalized minorities. Dru C. Gladney challenges this simplistic view, arguing instead
that the very oppositions of majority and minority, primitive and modern, are historically
constructed and are belied by examination of such disenfranchised groups as Muslims,
minorities, or gendered others.
Gladney locates China and Chinese culture not in some unchanging, essential
"Chinese-ness," but in the context of historical and contemporary multicultural
complexity. He investigates how this complexity plays out among a variety of places and
groups, examining representations of minorities and majorities in art, movies, and theme
parks; the invention of folklore and creation myths; the role of pilgrimages in
constructing local identities; and the impact of globalization and economic reforms on
non-Han groups such as the Muslim Hui.
