Ethnographies of Islam in China
Chinese Women Organizing: Cadres, Feminists, Muslims, Queers
Religious Agency and Gender Complementarity
The aim of the article is to probe the unique tradition in central China’s Hui Muslim community of women-only, female-led mosques and their enduring, expressive culture of chanted worship, learning, and celebration as trans/local translations of Western feminist core notions of “agency” and “gender equality.” Women’s agency—here understood as entailing the capacity for informed and purposeful choice from context-specific options and resources—is …
Introduction: ‘Sounding Islam in China’
Introduction: ‘Sounding Islam in China’
This introduction to a journal special issue draws together an interdisciplinary group of international scholars interested in the ethnographically grounded, historically informed study of local Islamic practices within Muslim communities across China. The contributors draw on the diverse methodologies of historical, textual analysis, and sensory ethnography to map the Islamic soundscapes of China. The content of this volume ranges from a 16th ce…
Sound and silence in Chinese women’s mosques – identity, faith and equality
The evolution from early beginnings of Muslim women’s religious education in China, in the seventeenth century, when women were provided with rudimentary Islamic instruction, and taught from behind screens, to the emergence of more permanent women’s mosques (qingzhen nüsi) in the course of the nineteenth century, constitutes the historical background to an exploration of the relationship among silence, speech, voice, gender and power. Starting as…

The Culture of ‘Associational Leadership’ in the Hui Muslim Women’s Mosques of Central China
Women’s mosques and female Ahong (religious leaders) and their ‘Associational leadership’ style have made great contributions to Islamic religious practices and more generally Muslim communities in central China for over 300 years. This article investigates these issues through understanding the biographies of two leading female Ahong and considering their modes of operation and the relationships that they have with their community. New religious…
The History of Women's Mosques in Chinese Islam
This is a study of Chinese Hui Muslim women's historic and unrelenting spiritual, educational, political and gendered drive for an institutional presence in Islamic worship and leadership: 'a mosque of one's own' as a unique feature of Chinese Muslim culture. The authors place the historical origin of women's segregated religious institutions in the Chinese Islamic diaspora's fight for survival, and in their crucial contribution to the cause of e…

Education, gender and Islam in China: The place of religious education in challenging and sustaining ‘undisputed traditions’ among Chinese Muslim women
Religious women in a Chinese city: Ordering the past, recovering the future
The theme of the conference which gave rise to this paper prompted participants to think about Gender and Religion as a 21 st century phenomenon and problematic. 1For me the challenge involved relating from within my work in China questions over predicaments of religious identity as linked to local issues of gender and modernity.It entailed reflecting on interpretations of 'the 21 st century' on the part of women who constitute members of my comm…
Violation and Resistance: Women, Religion, and Chinese Statehood
This article argues that where gender is pressed into the service of collective projects of nation and community building, women's rights to self-constitution, incorporating religious expressions, are vulnerable to violation, as are associated rights to political and social participation and societal recognition of full personhood. Against the recent history of a volatile, sometimes violent, relationship between an absolutist Chinese State and it…

Outsider within: Speaking to Excursions across Cultures
Our conversation stems from a collaborative, fieldwork-based project on Chinese Islam, and on Chinese Muslim women's rights, within a secular political ideology and legislative rights framework. Dialogue was a defining feature throughout the years of field investigation and research, fusing autobiographical and cultural trajectories in what the anthropologist Kirsten Hastrup calls the 'betweenness' of intersubjectively created experience and know…
