Recenzje

'Anyone who has grappled with how to cover Islam in China in a 50-minute lecture will be greatful for Michael Dillon's new book. One of the attractions of this book is that it is interspersed with personal comments by the author. Dillon conveys a feeling for Islam in China - not only how to look out for signs of it, but how to interpret those signs.' - L.J. Newby, Bulletin of SOAS
