"One star" according to A. Samad. Great pictures (for black and white), including of the tombs of some of the great Chinese Muslim saints; but regarding content the author displays very little interest/appreciation for the religion of Islam; he presents a book that is quite "fuzzy around the edges," with very little regard for the vast wealth of Islamic/Sufi tradition in China, including the Naqshbandiyya (Khuffiyya/Jahriyya) and Qadiriyya orders. One would wish to see in a book like this much more probing and intelligent representation of these truely fascinating people, the Hui Muslims.. Munir said Not very interesting. I have to concur with the other reviewers. Indeed the book has wonderful pictures. But- for one thing- the Hui are not exactly an ethnic group- they are extremely diverse, live all over China, and range from committed Muslims to atheist cadres- so a study of the "Hui folktales" does not necessarily shed light on what it means to be Hui; these folktales are not part of a shared heritage. Perhaps if the scope was more specific, i.e. "Folktales of the Hui of Ningxia," this would have worked better. Of course many of the stories are interesting- particularly those de. An extensive compendium of stories, grouped by type, with an excellent introduction. Andorrac Plenty of material here for the folklorists, the general reader who likes folk tales, and anyone interested in finding a few good stories to retell or to use as insights into the way stories reflect and refine our worldviews.
