Description
Book SynopsisIn this transnational history of World War II, Kelly Hammond places Sino-Muslims at the centre of imperial Japan's challenges to Chinese nation-building efforts. Hammond shows how imperial Japanese aimed to defeat the Chinese Nationalists in winning the hearts and minds of Sino-Muslims, a vital minority population.
Trade ReviewChina's Muslims and Japan's Empire has a little bit for everyone. It has contemporary implications for the ways that we think about the place of Muslim minorities who live in the People's Republic of China. At the same time, there are some good escapist stories that follow individual Muslims as they navigate their relationships with the Japanese Empire during World War II." --
Los Angeles Review of Books China Channel”An illuminating overview of Japan's overtures during WWII to minority Muslim communities in Asia as a nation-building tactic…An excellent and important addition to the WWII history shelf.” --
