The Geographies of Ritual Practice in Rural Uyghur Society

Harris, Rachel

Abstract

This preliminary case study calls attention to need for a more systematic understanding of local Islamic practices across Central Asia and China, and suggests that a focus on sound and style can provide important insights into the global flows of Islamic ideology and practice. It considers geographies of sound and style in rural ritual practices amongst the Uyghurs whose homeland lies in Northwest China, the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.
