John W. Chaffee. The Muslim Merchants of Premodern China: The History of a Maritime Asian Trade Diaspora, 750–1400
The perception of late imperial China as an insulated and inward-facing empire remains a resilient if outdated characterization. A central pillar of such a portrait is the depiction of imperial China’s attitude toward its maritime relations as dismissive, negligent, and withdrawn. In most tellings, if included at all, China’s maritime outreach begins and ends with a telling of Zheng He’s seven voyages between 1405 and 1433. Typically, the expedit…
Islamic Shangri-La: Inter-Asian Relations and Lhasa’s Muslim Communities, 1600 to 1960
David Atwill transports readers to the heart of the Himalayas as he traces the rise of the Tibetan Muslim community from the seventeenth century to the mid-twentieth century. Radically altering popular interpretations that have portrayed Tibet as isolated and monolithically Buddhist, Atwill’s vibrant account demonstrates how truly cosmopolitan Tibetan society was by highlighting the hybrid infl uences and internal diversity of Tibet. In its explo…
Boundaries of Belonging: Sino-Indian Relations and the 1960 Tibetan Muslim Incident
Bridging Tibetan, Chinese, and South Asian studies, this article examines the 1960 Tibetan Muslim Incident, when nearly one thousand Tibetan Muslims declared themselves to be Indian citizens by virtue of their Kashmiri ancestry and petitioned the Chinese government to be allowed to emigrate to India. The paradox of the 1960 Tibetan Muslim Incident is that it occurred after a decade of careful Sino-Indian diplomacy, a diplomacy emerging out of eac…
A Tibetan by Any Other Name: The Case of Muslim Tibetans and Ambiguous Ethno-religious Identities
Les Tibétains musulmans (khache) sont une partie intégrante de la société tibétaine depuis plus de trois cents ans. La confusion sur la terminologie employée pour désigner les Tibétains musulmans en tibétain, en anglais et en chinois, combinée avec la croyance tenace que musulmans et Tibétains sont des catégories mutuellement exclusives, a entraîné un nombre prodigieux de termes, ainsi que fausses divisions et distinctions. Il y eut sans aucun do…
Tobie Meyer-Fong. What Remains: Coming to Terms with Civil War in 19th Century China
In 1864, Qing imperial forces recaptured the city of Nanjing, bringing to an end the greatest challenge faced by the Qing dynasty in over two centuries of rule. The Taiping uprising and the threat it presented to traditional Chinese culture was nothing less than cataclysmic. It sparked at least four other independent uprisings across China, triggered a decades-long series of government reforms, and resulted in the deaths of no fewer than 20 milli…
The Chinese Sultanate: Islam, Ethnicity, and the Panthay Rebellion in Southwest China, 1856-1873
The Muslim-led Panthay Rebellion was one of five mid-nineteenth-century rebellions to threaten the Chinese imperial court. The Chinese Sultanate begins by contrasting the views of Yunnan held by the imperial center with local and indigenous perspectives, in particular looking at the strong ties the Muslim Yunnanese had with Southeast Asia and Tibet. Traditional interpretations of the rebellion there have emphasized the political threat posed by t…
Blinkered Visions: Islamic Identity, Hui Ethnicity, and the Panthay Rebellion in Southwest China, 1856-1873
On 19 may 1856, qing officials in kunming, the capital of the southwestern Chinese province of Yunnan, systematically carried out a three-day massacre of the city's Hui (Muslim Yunnanese). Han townspeople, the local militia, and imperial officials methodically slaughtered between four and seven thousand Yunnan Hui-men, women, and children-burned the city's mosques to the ground, and posted orders to exterminate the Hui in every prefecture, depart…
