Description:

This seminar examines the history of Islam and Muslim communities in China. While the course covers the entire history of Muslim communities in China, from the arrival of the first Muslims in China in the 7th century to the present, it primarily focuses on developments during late imperial and 20th-century China. Central themes of the course are cultural interactions, identity-formation, and state-Muslim relations. We attempt to understand and analyze the above themes in the context of Chinese history and the history of the Islamic world.
