Gladney, Dru C. Ethnic Identity in China: The Making of a Muslim Minority Nationality. Case Studies in Cultural Anthropology, edited by George and Louise Spindler. Fort Worth: Harcourt Brace College Publishers, 1998.

In this ethnographic book, Gladney traces the identity of the contemporary Hui (sometimes referred to as "Chinese" Muslims) throughout China, including northwestern china.  He concludes that, even though the Hui identify with one another, they are very diverse religiously, culturally, geographically, and by descent.
