MUSLIMS in NORTH CHINA, 1931-1945 a Dissertation Submitted THE CONUNDRUM OF COLLABORATION: JAPANESE INVOLVEMENT WITH MUSLIMS IN NORTH CHINA, 1931-1945 A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Kelly Anne Hammond, M.A. Washington, DC June 16, 2015 Copyright 2015 by Kelly Anne Hammond All Rights Reserved ii THE CONUNDRUM OF COLLABORATION: JAPANESE INVOLVEMENT WITH MUSLIMS IN NORTH CHINA, 1931-1945 Kelly Anne Hammond, M.A. Thesis Advisor: James A. Millward, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation argues that Chinese Muslims living under occupation who collaborated with the Japanese were actively involved in creating an on-going dialogue between the Japanese Empire and the Chinese Nationalists about strategies for managing minority populations on the mainland. The dissertation describes some of the ways which the Japanese transformed the social and political milieu in which Islam operated in North China and argues that the Japanese approach ultimately shaped the minority policies of both Nationalist and later Communist governments in China. More broadly, the dissertation demonstrates that twentieth-century projects of nation and state building in China have shaped (and reshaped) people’s understanding of the place of Islam in Chinese society and the place of Muslims from China in the Islamic world. The dissertation contributes to the scholarship on Modern East Asia in three ways. While the idea of wartime collaboration of Chinese with the Japanese continues to be an important area of research, I draw attention to a historically important minority group in China who made the choice to work with their Japanese occupiers. By showcasing the experience of Muslims living under occupation, my work refutes claims that there was anything resembling a cohesive Muslim resistance during the war. Secondly, the dissertation contributes to the on-going demystification of war in twentieth-century China by bringing to light some of the everyday experiences of Muslims living under occupation. Thirdly, by focusing on Japanese policies, Nationalist responses and Chinese Muslims themselves, the dissertation examines hitherto unconsidered political and social outcomes of WWII for minority populations in China. Taken as a whole, the project adds to both the understanding of the experiences of war in East Asia and to re-thinking the place of Muslims from China in the broader nexus of global Islam in the twentieth-century. KEYWORDS: China; Islam; Ethnicity; Nationalism; Japan; Imperialism; China War; Pacific War; WWII; Pan-Islamism; Pan-Asianism. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Although my name alone appears on the title page of this dissertation, its completion would never have been possible without the continued support of many incredible people. Thank you to all the members of my dissertation committee. Special thanks especially to my supportive mentors, Carol Benedict and James Millward. They are both exemplary scholars and teachers, and I have learned a great deal from them over the past seven years. Jonathan Lipman also deserves special recognition: in the first year of my Ph.D., Professor Lipman mailed me a number of Japanese articles published in the 1930s that he found in a box while cleaning out his basement. These articles sent me on a journey to find out more about Islamic studies in Japan during WWII. Thank you also to the Georgetown University Department of History for providing me with research and teaching opportunities throughout my Ph.D.. A warm thank you also goes to the Canadian Social Science and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). Their generous grant funded a number of summer research trips to Asia and made my life as a graduate student in Washington DC much more pleasant. I respect and admire the work of many scholars and friends that I have met over the years at Georgetown and at Simon Fraser, and throughout my travels abroad. I owe every one of them a great deal of gratitude. My work is enriched and more thoughtful because of engaging discussions—often over beers or baijiu—with colleagues over the years. I offer a heartfelt thanks to two of my dearest friends for their continued support on this journey. Abhishek Kaicker and Rebecca Manley Doucette are also both recent Ph.D.s, although one is a South Asian historian and the other is a Veterinary Radiologist. They have helped me in very different ways usually involving long conversations about maintaining work-life balance over gimlets (Abhishek) or a bottle of wine and fish tacos (Rebecca). And finally, a massive thank you to my family for everything they do for me. My sister Brittany is by far the funniest person I know and I love her dearly. I thank her for keeping me honest and grounded, and for being able to make me laugh in any situation. Sherry, Terry, Don and Margaret have all played an important role in my success. Their unabashed and unwavering support should be the envy of children everywhere. Many thanks, KELLY A.

The rebellions in those countries had much in common, but one of the most striking differences is the degree of violence inflicted by these popular movements on their opponents. Chinese popular rebels were much more likely to kill or injure others than their counterparts in Korea and Japan. Such differences seem to be closely associated with the question of whether the rebel forces fought due to conflicting interests within the polity, or were seeking to build a new kingdom by pursuing a newly-risen religion while rejecting the existing ruling system and ideology that legitimized it. This paper will examine how the rebel forces based the legitimacy of their actions in relation to each country’s “political culture.” While popular movements in the West or the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were based on the idea that God was more powerful than the secular ruler, popular movements in Korea or Japan did not have a transcendent source of authority that was superior to the monarch.

Manchus: A Horse of a Different Color by Hannah Knight Abstract: The question of identity has been one of the biggest questions addressed to humanity. Whether in terms of a country, a group or an individual, the exact definition is almost as difficult to answer as to what constitutes a group. The Manchus, an ethnic group in China, also faced this dilemma. It was an issue that lasted throughout their entire time as rulers of the Qing Dynasty (1644- 1911) and thereafter. Though the guidelines and group characteristics changed throughout that period one aspect remained clear: they did not sinicize with the Chinese Culture. At the beginning of their rule, the Manchus implemented changes that would transform the appearance of China, bringing it closer to the identity that the world recognizes today. In the course of examining three time periods, 1644, 1911, and the 1930’s, this paper looks at the significant events of the period, the changing aspects, and the Manchus and the Qing Imperial Court’s relations with their greater Han Chinese subjects.

  • Nationalism, Internationalism and Chinese Foreign Policy CHEN ZHIMIN*
    Journal of Contemporary China (2005), 14(42), February, 35–53 Nationalism, Internationalism and Chinese Foreign Policy CHEN ZHIMIN* This article examines the role of nationalism in shaping Chinese foreign policy in the history of contemporary China over the last 100 years. Nationalism is used here as an analytical term, rather than in the usual popular pejorative sense. By tracing the various expressions of contemporary Chinese nationalism, this article argues that nationalism is one of the key enduring driving forces which have shaped Chinese foreign policy over the period; as China increasingly integrates herself into this globalized and interdependent world and Chinese confidence grows, the current expression of Chinese nationalism is taking a more positive form, which incorporates an expanding component of internationalism. In recent years, nationalism has been one of the key focuses in the study of China’s foreign policy. In the 1990s, several Chinese writers started to invoke the concept of nationalism, both in their study of Chinese foreign policy and in their prescriptions for the Chinese foreign policy. Likewise, in English-language scholarship the study of Chinese nationalism largely sets the parameters of the debate about the future of Chinese foreign policy and the world’s response to a rising China. An overarching theme of this Western discourse is a gloomy concern with the worrisome nature of recent expressions of Chinese nationalism. Samuel P. Huntington was famously concerned about China’s intention ‘to bring to an end the

  • The Opposition of a Leading Akhund to Shi'a and Sufi
    The Opposition of a Leading Akhund to Shi’a and Sufi Shaykhs in Mid-Nineteenth- Century China Wang Jianping, Shanghai Normal University Abstract This article traces the activities of Ma Dexin, a preeminent Hui Muslim scholar and grand imam (akhund) who played a leading role in the Muslim uprising in Yunnan (1856–1873). Ma harshly criticized Shi’ism and its followers, the shaykhs, in the Sufi orders in China. The intolerance of orthodox Sunnis toward Shi’ism can be explained in part by the marginalization of Hui Muslims in China and their attempts to unite and defend themselves in a society dominated by Han Chinese. An analysis of the Sunni opposition to Shi’ism that was led by Akhund Ma Dexin and the Shi’a sect’s influence among the Sufis in China help us understand the ways in which global debates in Islam were articulated on Chinese soil. Keywords: Ma Dexin, Shi’a, shaykh, Chinese Islam, Hui Muslims Most of the more than twenty-three million Muslims in China are Sunnis who follow Hanafi jurisprudence when applying Islamic law (shariʿa). Presently, only a very small percentage (less than 1 percent) of Chinese Muslims are Shi’a.1 The historian Raphael Israeli explicitly analyzes the profound impact of Persian Shi’ism on the Sufi orders in China based on the historical development and doctrinal teachings of Chinese Muslims (2002, 147–167). The question of Shi’a influence explored in this article concerns why Ma Dexin, a preeminent Chinese Muslim scholar, a great imam, and one of the key leaders of the Muslim uprising in the nineteenth century, so harshly criticized Shi’ism and its accomplices, the shaykhs, in certain Sufi orders in China, even though Shi’a Islam was nearly invisible at that time.

  • Religion in China BKGA 85 Religion Inchina and Bernhard Scheid Edited by Max Deeg Major Concepts and Minority Positions MAX DEEG, BERNHARD SCHEID (EDS.)
    Religions of foreign origin have shaped Chinese cultural history much stronger than generally assumed and continue to have impact on Chinese society in varying regional degrees. The essays collected in the present volume put a special emphasis on these “foreign” and less familiar aspects of Chinese religion. Apart from an introductory article on Daoism (the BKGA 85 BKGA Religion in China proto­typical autochthonous religion of China), the volume reflects China’s encounter with religions of the so-called Western Regions, starting from the adoption of Indian Buddhism to early settlements of religious minorities from the Near East (Islam, Christianity, and Judaism) and the early modern debates between Confucians and Christian missionaries. Contemporary Major Concepts and religious minorities, their specific social problems, and their regional diversities are discussed in the cases of Abrahamitic traditions in China. The volume therefore contributes to our understanding of most recent and Minority Positions potentially violent religio-political phenomena such as, for instance, Islamist movements in the People’s Republic of China. Religion in China Religion ∙ Max DEEG is Professor of Buddhist Studies at the University of Cardiff. His research interests include in particular Buddhist narratives and their roles for the construction of identity in premodern Buddhist communities. Bernhard SCHEID is a senior research fellow at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. His research focuses on the history of Japanese religions and the interaction of Buddhism with local religions, in particular with Japanese Shintō. Max Deeg, Bernhard Scheid (eds.)

  • My Neighbor, My Enemy: Understanding the Protracted Conflict Between China and Japan
    MY NEIGHBOR, MY ENEMY: UNDERSTANDING THE PROTRACTED CONFLICT BETWEEN CHINA AND JAPAN A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English By Go Funai, B.S. Washington, DC May 1, 2009 The research and writing of this thesis is dedicated to everyone who helped along the way, especially Professor Alan C. Tidwell, my thesis advisor, and Professor Fathali M. Moghaddam, my thesis committee member. Many thanks, Go Funai ii MY NEIGHBOR, MY ENEMY: UNDERSTADNING THE PROTRACTED CONFLICT BETWEEN CHINA AND JAPAN Go Funai, B.S. Thesis Advisor: Alan C. Tidwell, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Despite numerous attempts at political reconciliation and increasing levels of economic interdependence, tensions between China and Japan remain high. The bitter rivalry, ostensibly rooted in the Second World War, grabbed the world’s attention in 2005 when anti-Japan protests erupted in over 40 cities throughout China. This study examines why China and Japan remain sworn enemies even though they share realistic reasons to reconcile. While the existing literature acknowledges historical enmity as the primary source of conflict, it does not rigorously explain the underpinnings and dynamics of that enmity. Thus, the purpose of this study is to fill this analytic gap using ideas in conflict resolution and social psychology. I argue that China and Japan are mired in an identity-based conflict that is best understood by examining enmification, or the process of creating enemies, throughout its history of conflict dating back to the 16th century.

  • 6 Pilgrimage and Hui Muslim Identity in the Republican Era
    6 Pilgrimage and Hui Muslim Identity in the Republican Era Yuan-lin Tsai Abstract Pilgrimage (hajj) is the fifth pillar of Islam and the most important symbol of unity of the Muslim ‘Community’ (‘Ummah’). When pan- Islamism and Chinese nationalism met in the early twentieth century, it is interesting to see how the Chinese pilgrims, and the Chinese Muslims as a whole, understood and responded to the Islamic revivalist call to the unity of the Community and the Chinese nationalist voice to build a new nation-state. This chapter explores the relationships between these two forces by researching original official documents, news reports, memoirs, and other biographical materials regarding the Hui Muslims’ pilgrimage experience. It concludes that Hui Muslim pilgrims’ choice is not an either/or question, but a mixture of pan-Islamism and Hui patriotism. Keywords: pilgrimage, Mecca, Hui, Uighur, pan-Islamism, Wahhabi Introduction Islam in China has not yet been a well-explored field despite some ground- breaking books and articles that have been published in Chinese, Japanese, and various Western languages during the last two decades. The scholars in this field have usually made their own efforts in an isolated fashion and have not integrated into the academic communities of either Islamic studies or Chinese studies. This is also true for the studies of the Chinese Muslims’ pilgrimage (hajj). In the two most comprehensive historical works on the pilgrimage – Peters’ The Hajj: The Muslim Pilgrimage to Mecca and the Holy Places (1994) and Wolfe’s One Thousand Roads to Mecca: Ten Centuries of Travelers Writing about the Muslim Pilgrimage (1997) – there is no mention of the Chinese Muslims’ pilgrimage journey.

  • “Kung Flu” Fighters: Illuminating Resilience & Solidarities Among The
    “Kung Flu” Fighters: Illuminating Resilience & Solidarities Among the Chinese Diaspora Sabrina Lin | Amherst College | Spain, South Africa, USA | Summer 2021 OVERVIEW: T he Chinese diaspora is bonded by shared phenotype and some sense of a faraway homeland—an arbitrary designation in some ways, but one rendered especially fraught by the pandemic. The pandemic has most obviously wreaked havoc on world’s health and brought about reports of racist hate crimes for the Chinese diaspora in particular, but it has also inspired burgeoning movements for solidarity and social change. The viral hashtag #IAmNotAVirus, for example, has found success in translation in Spanish-speaking and French-speaking countries around the world. In South Africa, Chinatown communities have participated in successful mutual aid efforts to support local businesses impacted by lockdown and xenophobic avoidance. For all their differences, many Chinese diasporic communities are finding new or renewed connections in the midst of the pandemic. This raises the question: how might both the diaspora's diverse experiences and emergent solidarities create more understanding and empathy in an increasingly divided world? In order to highlight resiliencies across distinct global communities, I propose to create a podcast: an auditory collection of personal histories as told by members of the Chinese diaspora, who have very different upbringings, but who face a pandemic that has flattened their ethnic identities into “dirty bat eater.” Traveling to Chinese diasporic communities in Spain and South Africa, I will explore how the pandemic has affected identity and resilience across the Chinese diaspora—by not only collecting these stories, but also participating in the community work that sustains these networks and recording my own experiences.
