Book description
This book is an historical exploration of the relationship between Hui ethnicity, Islam, the Chinese State and Gender. It contextualises the ethnography of diversely situated contemporary Chinese Muslim women's lives within a secular Communist paradigm of womanhood. Cross-cultural issues addressed are religious indigenisation, collective survival and their multiple implications for expressions of women's agency.
