Routledge Islam and China's Hong Kong - Ethnic Identity Book

Explore the complex dynamics of Muslim communities in one of the world's most prominent global city-states. While much academic focus remains on Muslim-majority areas in Asia or Northwest China, this Routledge publication addresses the often-overlooked population of approximately 250,000 Muslims living in Hong Kong. This book investigates how ethnic and Chinese-speaking Muslims navigate their personal identities amidst growing public attention to Islam. It provides a detailed look at the ways these communities manage their religious practices and social roles within the framework of Chinese sovereignty. By examining the specific challenges and social structures present in the region, this work offers a necessary perspective on the relationship between Islam and the evolving landscape of Hong Kong. It is an essential resource for those interested in how religious networks function within the context of the New Silk Road and modern Chinese urban life.
