About this episode

The episode discusses the historical and cultural significance of Islam in China, challenging the perception of it as a foreign element.

Islam has been part of China’s religious and cultural fabric for over a millennium, yet often it is seen as a foreign element. The author of a new study explains just how wrong that is. The China Books Podcast is a companion of China Books Review, a project of Asia Society’s Center on U.S.-China Relations and The Wire China.
