Beautifully written and on the cutting edge of scholarship, Islamic China is the rare book that is perfect for both those new to the subject and those deeply immersed in it. -- Valerie Hansen, author of <i>The Year 1000: When Globalization Began</i> In recent decades, historians have increasingly incorporated the history of Islam in China into the broader narrative of China's past. Rian Thum takes us to the next phase with this book, by treating this history as Asian history. Transcending linguistic and historical boundaries across Asia, Islamic China stands out as a significant accomplishment and signals a paradigm shift in the field. -- Zvi Ben-Dor Benite, author of <i>The Dao of Muhammad: A Cultural History of Muslims in Late Imperial China</i>
