Minglang Zhou's highly erudite and wellresearched volume on the policies concerning writing reforms for China's minorities since 1949 provides an original and wellreasoned summary of a complex process. It documents how different script reforms meet dramatically different fates according to local preferences, history, crossborder ties, and the vitality of previouslyused scripts. It convincingly shows that no single variable is decisive in the success of a script, and that language planners' fixation with technical details is doomed to failure, without careful coordination of extracode factors. It also documents the littleknown SinoSoviet cooperation in the area of writing reforms. In a style accessible to both undergraduate and graduate students, Zhou's book is of interest to language planners, sinologists, applied linguists, writing theorists, and ethnologists.
