Abstract "Islamic China traces the interlinked stories of twenty Chinese Muslims across the centuries, spanning ethnic groups, sects, and imperial borders. Collectively, their experiences point to the ordinariness of Islam within China, even as Muslims have been subject to centuries of minoritization under myriad Chinese regimes."-- Provided by publisher.
