Wai-Yip Ho

Islam and China's Hong Kong

Ethnic Identity, Muslim Networks and the New Silk Road

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Islam and China's Hong Kong is a fresh and timely study examining how Muslims as a minority and their Islamic faith interweave with an East Asian global city as well as a city-state under the sovereignty of the People's Republic China, post-1997 Hong Kong. In the age of the 'war on terror', the wake of the transnational media networks, the global financial meltdown and the growing ethnic tension in China, this is the first book to investigate how ethnic and Chinese-speaking Muslims negotiate their identities and the increasing public attention to Islam in the postcolonial city reigned by the Chinese government.
