Lawton, John. "Muslims in China: The People." Saudi Aramco World, July/August 1985, http://www.saudiaramcoworld.com/issue/198504/muslims.in.china-the.people.htm.
Lawton provides a good brief introduction to the Muslims in China. While he mentions the ten official Muslim ethnicities in China, his main focus is on the three largest ethnicities; the Hui, Uygurs, and Kazaks. Other than the fact that most of these people are Muslim, there is no discussion of their religious practices.
Sections: The Kazakhs; the Uighurs; the Hui. Descriptors: 1980s, bibliographic, China, identity, L, magazine, post-Soviet, pre-Tsarist; Hui, Kazak, Kirgiz, Sala, Tajik, Tatar, Tungxiang, Paoan, Uygur and Uzbek.

Cowen, Jill S. "Muslims in China: The Mosques." Saudi Aramco World, July/August 1985, http://www.saudiaramcoworld.com/issue/198504/muslims.in.china-an.introduction.htm.
Cowen discusses the local non-Islamic architectural styles of some mosques in China. In doing so she mentions subtle Islamic influences that make the mosques useful to Muslims, but also local traditional elements that also make them appealing to non-Muslims.

Lunde, Paul. "Muslims in China: The History." Saudi Aramco World, July/August 1985, http://www.saudiaramcoworld.com/issue/198504/muslims.in.china-an.introduction.htm.
Lunde's article appears to be well researched and contains quotes and references to many historical documents. It mostly discusses the introduction of Islam to what is today China by Arabs, ancestors of the Hui. Lunde's discussion of Turkic Muslims in the region is limited. He discusses in detail the relationship between Ch'agan (Xi'an) and Baghdad. There are only a few paragraphs at the end briefly discussing the history of Islam in what is today China from the initial period to modern times. Descriptors: 1980s, archival, China, history, L, magazine, pre-Tsarist; Hui, Xi'an, Kashgar, Ferghana

Lawton, John. "Muslims in China: An Introduction." Saudi Aramco World, July/August 1985, http://www.saudiaramcoworld.com/issue/198504/muslims.in.china-an.introduction.htm.
With a very brief historical introduction, Lawton discusses the relationship between contemporary Muslims in China and the Chinese government. He portrays a modest Islamic revival in the country. As these relations have changed since the 1980s, especially in western China, this article is out of date. Descriptors: 1980s, China, e-article, interview, journalism, L, magazine, overview, post-Soviet.
