From 'The Growth & Influence of Islam in The Nations of Asia and Central Asia Series. Colour illustrations, 120pp, glossary, index. Although they constitute a small minority of China's 1.3 billions people, approximately 20 million Muslims live within the borders of the world's most populous country. About 9 million of them belong to the Hui minority, which has largely assimilated into China's dominant Han culture. But some 8 million Chinese Muslims are Uyghurs, members of a Turkic-speaking group who have more in common with peoples in Central Asia than with the Han Chinese. In recent years, nationalism has bubbled up in northwestern China's Xinjiang region, where the Uyghurs are concentrated. This has raised concerns among, and provoked a crackdown from, China's Communist government in Beijing. Muslims in China examines the development as well as more general economic, political, and social issues facing China today. It also provides- up-to-date information about China's geography, history, society, important cities and communities, and more. Suitable for secondary.
