Abstract

ABSTRACT In recent years, propaganda authorities in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China have orchestrated the production of posters, banners, books, news reports, and literary magazines calling for the Sinicisation of Islam. What role is played by local Hui (Chinese Muslim) writers in the production of this propaganda? This article is based on a close reading of propaganda literature from a local county between 2010 and 2017. I show that Hui writers bargain for the preservation Hui ideological and cultural particularities. While contributing to the propaganda apparatus, they bargain to find a balance between the national call for the Sinicisation of religion and their own goal of the preservation of a Hui identity distinct from Han-Chinese culture. They argue that Sinicisation in the sense of value integration benefits the propaganda goals of the Chinese Party-State in a way that is not possible with Sinicisation in the sense of cultural and ideological assimilation.

让儒教和伊斯兰教共同努力:在地方宣传文献中争取一个独特的穆斯林身份

近年来，中国新疆维吾尔自治区的宣传部门精心策划了海报、横幅、书籍、新闻报道和文学杂志的制作，呼吁将伊斯兰教中国化。当地回族(中国穆斯林)作家在这种宣传的制作中扮演了什么角色?本文基于对2010年至2017年当地一个县的宣传文献的仔细阅读。回族作家为保留回族思想文化的特殊性而讨价还价。在为宣传机构出力的同时，他们讨价还价，试图在国家要求宗教中国化和维护有别于汉族文化的回族身份的目标之间找到平衡。他们认为，价值整合意义上的汉化有利于中国党国的宣传目标，这是文化和意识形态同化意义上的汉化所不可能实现的。

期刊介绍： In the twenty-first century ethnic issues have assumed importance in many parts of the world. Until recently, questions of Asian ethnicity and identity have been treated in a balkanized fashion, with anthropologists, economists, historians, political scientists, sociologists and others publishing their studies in single-discipline journals. Asian Ethnicity provides a cross-disciplinary, international venue for the publication of well-researched articles about ethnic groups and ethnic relations in the half of the world where questions of ethnicity now loom largest. Asian Ethnicity covers any time period, although the greatest focus is expected to be on the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
