| Summary: | This chapter focuses on the Chinese Muslim community of Dubai, both the Hui community, as well as the growing number of Han Chinese who have converted to Islam. Special attention is given to the role of international Islamic education networks in facilitating migration to Dubai. The research for this chapter is based primarily on interviews carried out with Chinese Muslim residents in Dubai between 2008 and 2020, and also builds on earlier interviews carried out with Hui students studying at Islamic schools in China and overseas. Different dimensions of the lives of Chinese Muslims in Dubai, and the potential impact of the growing number of converts and transnational marriages creating a new hybrid international Chinese identity are also examined. |
