Islam and China are topics of relevance and contention in todays economic, political and religious climate. In this work, Tiffany Cone makes an important contribution to these contemporary discourses through an ethnographic case study of Islamic leadership and the cultivation of charismatic power by Sufi disciples at a shrine site in Northwest China. Though this volume focuses on a specific religious community, it carries valuable insights into religious unity, syncretism and religious legitimacy, materialism and religious integrity, and the stability of religious institutions in light of rapid economic growth. Cultivating Charismatic Power speaks to global concerns about the rise of a militant Islam and an increasingly aggressive Chinese State. As such, it will appeal to scholars and practitioners across a range of fields including anthropology, philosophy, religious studies, Islamic Studies, and Chinese Studies.

Preface

At the age of 12, I lived in Indonesia for one year. Being immersed in a culture outside of my own instilled in me a deep curiosity about how human beings imbued the world with meaning and understood their place within it. Years later, I came to realise just how deep an impression this experience left on me. In particular, I was struck by the interplay of Buddhist and Islamic practice in daily life. During my undergraduate degree in anthropology, I first visited China and over the subsequent years became involved in a number of film projects there. After completing a study of Sufism at the end of my first degree, I directed a film project titled Living Chinese Philosophy. This film explored the central tenets of Confucianism and Daoism in the context of daily life in China. These collective experiences inspired me to undertake a deeper study of Sufism in China from the perspective of philosophical anthropology. Specifically, I was interested in the processes that fostered the emergence and flourishing of esoteric Islam in China. To borrow here from the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze, at heart I was interested in the assemblage and re-assemblage of the worldthat is, in the complex constellations of objects, bodies, expressions, qualities and territories that ceaselessly create and re-create the world anew (Parr , p. 18).
