This much-needed work on ethnicity in Asia offers a major
sociological analysis of Hui Muslims in contemporary China. Using
both qualitative and quantitative data derived from fieldwork in
Lanzhou between March 2001 and July 2004, it looks at the contrast
between the urban life of the Han people, the ethnic majority in
the city of Lanzhou, and the Hui people, the largest ethnic
minority in the city, and assesses the link between minority
ethnicity and traditional behaviour in urban sociology and research
on ethnic groups of China.
In-depth interviews and survey data provides a fresh perspective
to the study of ethnic behaviour in China, and offers a rich
account of Hui behaviour in seven aspects of urban life:
neighbouring interaction, friendship formation, network behaviour,
mate selection methods, spouse choice, marital homogamy, and
household structure.
Contributing to the global discourse on Islam, religious
fundamentalism and modernity, this book will be invaluable to
anyone interested in Chinese society, Islam, religion, development,
urban studies, anthropology and ethnicity.
