Sinicizing China's World Muslim City: Spatial Politics, National Narratives, and Ethnoreligious Assimilation in the PRC
The nation-state is as much a narrative and ideational project as it is a spatial-territorial one. In the People's Republic of China, Xi Jinping's calls to 'revitalize' China's traditional culture, 'Sinicize' religions, and 'rejuvenate' the Chinese nation reflect a broader effort to reframe the national narrative and strengthen Communist Party control. This article examines the implications of Xi's revisionist nationalism for China's fifty-five m…
Liberating Party Animals: Cultural Governance and “Life Release” Rituals in China
This article analyzes Chinese government efforts to manage and co-opt fangsheng, or life release, the ritual practice of liberating animals. When conducted inappropriately, this popular practice can damage ecosystems and disrupt public order. Besides stiffening penalties for indiscriminate fangsheng, the government is also trying to change how people understand and carry out life release by deploying it for a range of policy purposes. Leading thi…

Serving Society, Repurposing the State: Religious Charity and Resistance in China
Faith-based charities are among the hundreds of thousands of non-profit, non-state organizations that have emerged in China in recent decades. The social service activities of these groups can rightly be seen as supporting the regime’s policies and long-term goals. Yet faith-based organizations (FBOs) also enable religious adherents to resist aspects of China’s authoritarian system, albeit in subtle and nonconfrontational ways. They do so by expa…
Communist Multiculturalism: Ethnic Revival in Southwest China
The communist Chinese state promotes the distinctiveness of the many minorities within its borders. At the same time, it is vigilant in suppressing groups that threaten the nation's unity or its modernizing goals. In Communist Multiculturalism, Susan McCarthy examines three minority groups in the province of Yunnan, focusing on the ways in which they have adapted to the government's nationbuilding and minority nationalities policies since the 198…

School centers that provide all three services have the greatest potential to ensure the successful use of emergency contraceptive pills by adolescents.

If Allah Wills It: Integration, Isolation and Muslim Authenticity in Yunnan Province in China
Gods of Wealth, Temples of Prosperity: Party-State Participation in the Minority Cultural Revival
This article contrasts Chinese government support for the minority cultural revival among the Bai and Dai in Yunnan Province, with a crackdown on religious expression in Beijing. Inconsistencies in the state's behaviour in these cases might be attributed to arbitrary decision-making, or to "internal orientalism". It is argued here, however, that the state's actions reflect its overarching goals of both economic modernisation and political legitim…
Ethno-Religious Mobilisation and Citizenship Discourse in the People's Republic of China
In the post-Cold War world, 'identity politics' is seen by many as posing the greatest threat to peace and political institutions, liberal or otherwise. In light of the carnage of Kosovo, Bosnia, Rwanda and former Soviet republics, cultural identity politics would seem to be a politics, or antipolitics, of the most virulent and savage sort. Yet research conducted among three Chinese minority nationalities - the Dai, Bai and Muslim Hui of Yunnan P…
