 lamic Publications in Contemporary China
DESCRIPTION:\n	Wang Jianping (Professor of Islamic Studies (retired)\, Shan
 ghai Normal University\; HYI Library Research Grant recipient)\n	Chair: Ja
 mes Cheng (Librarian of the Harvard-Yenching Library)\n\n\n	Despite restri
 ctive ideological control over the media and society under the Communist P
 arty’s rule\, a considerable number of Islamic periodicals have emerged 
 among Hui Muslims since the late 1980s. How and why has this phenomenon oc
 curred in a country which imposes harsh censorship? What is the scope of s
 uch unofficial Islamic publications in today’s China? What is the backgr
 ound of these passionate Chinese Muslims who are leading an Islamic reviva
 l movement? How is the government reacting to these unofficial Islamic pub
 lications? What is the future of Chinese Muslims who are striving for a re
 ligious-ethnic self-awakening campaign? This talk is an attempt to analyze
  all these questions in the framework of relations between Chinese Muslims
 \, the state and world politics.\n\n	About the speaker: Jianping Wang is a
