Product description

Review
Muslim Chinese is an anthropological study of the Hui based on three years' fieldwork in China and supported by a formidable battery of references, including most of the important scholarship on Hui history, society, and literature that has emerged... A vivid and detailed picture of Hui life and attitudes.-- "China Quarterly"

Gladney locates the significance of the Hui (and the study of minorities) in their challenge to the dominant Chinese and Western perceptions of China... [A] fine, pioneering work.-- "Journal of Asian Studies"
