In 1950 Mao Zedong initiated the “Ethnic Classification Project” whose effect has been the marginalisation of the minority nationalities. In this paper, I explore the marginalisation of the Mongol population of contemporary Henan Mongolian Autonomous County within the Huangnan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in southeastern Qinghai Province. By seeking to understand how Henan Mongols deal with their socio-political and demographic marginal status, the aim of this article is to shed light on how they utilise their marginal position, and how they centralise themselves as an independent party interacting with the civilising missions of China and Tibet.}, keywords = {Ethnizität; demographic factors; historische Entwicklung; Grenzgebiet; region; minority policy; Marginalität; sozialer Status; Mongolia; historical development; China; social inequality; soziale Faktoren; socioeconomic development; Region; social status; Minderheitenpolitik; sozioökonomische Entwicklung; Mongolei; ethnicity; ethnische Gruppe; ethnic group; Staatsgrenze; national border; border region; Minderheit; minority; demographische Faktoren; China; soziale Ungleichheit; social factors; marginality}}
