Zvi Ben-Dor Benite. The Dao of Muhammad: A Cultural History of Muslims in Late Imperial China. (Harvard East Asian Monographs, number 248.) Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press. 2005. Pp. xii, 280. $45.00.

This book by Zvi Ben-Dor Benite is a scholarly and detailed study of the creation in seventeenth and eighteenth-century China of a series of Islamic texts that came to be known as the Han kitab. The focus of the book is on the network of Chinese scholars who translated or composed these texts, their relationships to each other, and the ways in which they combined their identity as Confucians with their identity as Muslims. Its description of a Muslim community living at ease in an ideologically dominant Confucian state is one that is as controversial as it is relevant to our time.
