Features: This is a relatively complete and distinctive history of the Hui people. The book elaborates on the origins and consolidation of the Hui people from the perspective of the development of China's foreign relations; it places the Hui people within the broader context of Chinese historical development, detailing their political activities and economic structures; and it explores the commonalities and individualities of the Hui people, the connotations of their culture, and the sinicization of Islamic culture from the perspective of the pluralistic integration of the Chinese nation. It is believed that the publication of this history of the Hui people will lay a solid foundation for the future publication of more comprehensive and academically rigorous histories of the Hui people.
