For next week, October 22, we’ll be discussing Chinese Muslims in the 19th-20th Centuries. Lecture will consist of an historical overview, and discussion will be based on the two required readings listed on the syllabus.
Your third short paper (Paper 3) is also due. For Paper 3 I would like you to write another critical summary/ precis of the Gladney article from the course reader entitled, “Indigenizations: Ethnogenesis or Ethnogenicide,” in Dislocating China: Reflections on Muslims, Minorities, and Other Subaltern Subjects (London: Hurst and Co., 2004. Same format applies – you are trying to capture the main themes and key ideas of the article, and you must do so in 1-2 pages.
You are also asked to read James A. Millward, “Between Empire and Nation,” in Eurasian Crossroads: A History of Xinjiang (Columbia UP, 2007).
And for those of you who didn’t yet pick up your graded Paper 1, they can be found in my office mailbox in the Religion Dept. on the third floor of the JHB.
See you next week. -akg
