Islam, chineseness and citizenship
This paper attempts to trace the Hui Muslim minority who has been recently undergoing a dual process in identity transformation. A new ethnic governance highlighted by citizenship over religious rights as well as the state’s campaign of Sinicization of Religions has been promoted to create homogeneity. Beyond the long-existing system of minzu, Sinicization and citizenship has become a new double-edged tool in managing ethnic minorities and faith …
Exploring the Sacred-Secular Dialect in Everyday Social Work Practice
We examine the recent proliferation of religious discourses among front line social workers in the former British Colony of Hong Kong in order to explore the nature of 're-enchantment' in modern social work practice. In-depth qualitative interviews with twenty social workers who identify as 'Christian social workers' in a variety of social work organisations (both religious and secular) reveal the adoption of religious identities and discourses t…
The ‘Post-80s Generation,’ ‘Young Night Drifters,’ and the construction of a generic youth subject in Hong Kong
This article examines shifting representations of youth in post-handover Hong Kong in order to develop a framework for understanding the process by which some youngsters become hidden or marginal in the public consciousness while others remain highly visible. We compare two youth labels that have captured the public's imagination over a 14-year period: the Post-80s Generation and Young Night Drifters (YNDS, also known as nonengaged youth). The mo…
British Raj to China's Hong Kong
The madrasa, the Islamic institution of learning, has for centuries occupied a central role in the transmission of religious knowledge and the shaping of the identity of the global Muslim community (umma). This paper explores the sharp rise in the number of madrasas in contemporary Hong Kong. It examines, in particular, how South Asian Muslim youth, after receiving a modern education in a conventional day school, remain faithful to their religiou…
Islam and China's Hong Kong
Hong Kong is a global city-state under the sovereignty of the People’s Republic of China, and is home to around 250,000 Muslims practicing Islam. However existing studies of the Muslim-majority communities in Asia and the Northwest China largely ignore the Muslim community in Hong Kong. Islam and China’s Hong Kong skillfully fills this gap, and investigates how ethnic and Chinese-speaking Muslims negotiate their identities and the increasing publ…
Youth Studies and Timescapes
This article draws on insights from the sociology of time to examine how scheduling influences social interaction and identity among young people and those who work with them. Drawing on an ethnographic analysis of 'Young Night Drifters' and youth outreach social workers in Hong Kong's public housing estates, we create a framework to understand youth in the context of time scheduling. Certain time schedules provide opportunities for young people …
Islam, China and the Internet
While the predominant focus of the rise of cyber Islamic environments has been on the West and the Middle East, this article is an exploratory study of the emergence of the Chinese Islamic websites. With the rapid proliferation and usage of new informational and communicative technologies and the Chinese government's relentless policy in regulating the internet, this article put the peculiar situations of Chinese cyber Islamic environments in the…
Crossing the Cultural Divide between Muslim and Non-Muslim
Akbar S. Ahmed is widely acknowledged in the West as ‘The Ambassador for Islam’ and is an eminent Pakistani Muslim anthropologist. This article examines his Muslim ambassadorial identity. The paper argues that his ambassadorial identity is not given, but is partly influenced by the theoretical inspiration and compassionate encouragement of Ernest Gellner, himself a brilliant anthropologist, philosopher and social theorist. Identifying the informa…
