Product Description

This book examines how state schooling in China has economically, culturally, and ideologically had an impact on and gradually transformed a traditional Muslim Hui village in rural Northwestern China. By discussing the interpretation and appropriation of dominant educational discourse of quality in the rural context, it illustrates the dichotomies of poverty and prosperity, civility and uncivility, and religiosity and secularity as they are perceived and understood by teachers, parents and students.Based on an original ethnographic research conducted in a secondary school, it further touches upon Muslim Hui students negotiations offilial, rural, and ethnoreligious identities when theystruggleto seek a life of their own in the journey to prosperity. The book introduces audiences to multiple ways in which Muslim Hui students construct andnegotiateidentities through state schooling, especially theeducationalheterogeneity experienced by various Muslim youth. It also captures the changing rural-urban dynamic as state schooling continues to guide local formal educationalactivitiesas well as create tensions and confusions for both teachers and parents. Most importantly, the book challenges stereotypes about Muslim Hui students in Northwest China being assimilated into the mainstream culture by demonstrating how local Muslims live, study, pray, and fulfil the five pillars of Islam. It will be highly relevant to students and researchers in the fields of education, anthropology, sociology, and religious studies.
