This book studies the relationship between Islam, family
processes, and gender inequality among Uyghur Muslims in r mchi,
China. Empirically, it shows in quantitative terms the extent of
gender inequalities among Uyghur Muslims in r mchi and tests
whether the gender inequalities are a difference in kind or in
degree. It examines five aspects of gender inequality: employment,
income, household task accomplishment, home management, and spousal
power. Theoretically, it investigates how Islamic affiliation and
family life affect Uyghur women 's status.
Zang 's research involved rare and privileged access to a
setting which is difficult for foreign scholars to study due to
political restrictions. The data are drawn from fieldwork in r mchi
between 2005 and 2008, which include a survey of 577 families,
field observations, and 200 in-depth interviews with local Uyghurs.
The book combines qualitative and quantitative data and methods to
study gendered behavior and outcomes. The author 's study
reinterprets family power and offers a more nuanced analysis of
gender and domestic power in China and makes a pioneering effort to
study spousal power, gender inequality in labor market outcomes,
and gender inequality in household chores among members of ethnic
minorities in China.
The book will be of interest to students and scholars of ethnic
studies, Chinese studies, Asian anthropology and cultural
sociology.
