Alexander Blair Stewart works at the San Diego Chinese Historical Museum and is Visiting Lecturer of Anthropology at the University of California, San Diego, US.
The global spread of Islamic movements and the ascendance of a Chinese state that limits religious freedom have aroused anxieties about integrating Islam and protecting religious freedom around the world. Focusing on violent movements like the so-called Islamic State and Uygur separatists in China’s Xinjiang Province threatens to drown out the alternatives presented by apolitical and inwardly focused manifestations of transnational Islamic revival popular among groups like the Hui, China’s largest Muslim minority.
This book explores how Muslim revivalists in China’s Qinghai Province employ individual agency to reconcile transnational notions of religious orthodoxy with the materialist rationalism of atheist China. Based on a year immersed in one of China’s most concentrated and conservative urban Muslim communities in Xining, the book puts individuals’ struggles to navigate theological controversies in the contexts of global Islamic revival and Chinese modernization. By doing so, it reveals how attempts to revive the original essence of Islam can empower individuals to form peaceful and productive articulations with secular societies, and further suggests means of combatting radicalization and encouraging interfaith dialogue.
As the first major research monograph on Islamic revival in modern China, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of Anthropology, Islamic Studies, and Chinese Studies.

齣生在天主教傢庭的美國學者,在西寜進行1年的田野調查,探討中國的賽萊菲耶、颱布裏厄、皈信穆斯林、全球烏瑪,是前沿、現實、敏感的主題,欽佩作者的學術追求與眼光。 本書紕漏不少,首先作者關於中國伊斯蘭教的知識儲備不足:華寺門宦不屬於嘎得忍耶,是虎夫耶的支係;馬明心不是霍加阿法格的弟子;西寜人數最多的蘇菲派不是嘎得忍耶,而是虎夫耶。 其次作者的結論與批判缺乏客觀、以偏概全,武斷和誤讀源於他未對田野成果展開對話,未對訪談內容,尤其是存在異議的內容認真商榷。受訪人中缺乏精英和學者的觀點,因此十分片麵。人與田野是一個對話的過程,如果沒有對話和思辨,田野中的很多東西就被遮蔽。作者走的是人類學的路子,但是缺乏人類學的思維方式。

評分Rather than inhibit debate about sensitive subjects, censorship promotes rampant speculation because the public is aware of the widespread ignorance and misinformation created by censorship, and this awareness inspires and perpetuates wild conspiracy theories, simplistic grand narratives, and prejudiced stereotypes in the popular imagination.
