The history of Muslims in China spans more than fourteen centuries and cannot be exhaustively analyzed in a single work. Notwithstanding the inevitable limitations of space, The Other Middle Kingdom will attempt to present this often overlooked chapter of Chinese history, which has been revalued by scholars from various academic disciplines only in recent years.

This book is a thematic narrative that intertwines the coming-of-age story of Taiwan with three generations of the author's family and their relationship with American culture. Together, these interconnected essays form a distinctive view of what it is like to have a transnational identity and show how the everyday politics of an international cultural identity are in fact universal.

One of the striking features of the history of higher education in the Hoosier state is that seven of Indiana's private universities were founded by persons and groups associated with the Wesleyan and Holiness traditions of Christianity. As different as these institutions are, Anderson University, DePauw University, Huntington University, Indiana Wesleyan University, Taylor University, the University of Evansville, and the University of Indianapolis all have claimed the Wesleyan heritage as part of their mission and identity. Called to Unite Knowledge & Vital Piety explores how the heirs of John Wesley in six of these institutions have embodied the Wesleyan aspiration to integrate the pursuit of knowledge with faithful living. The contributors probe the past in ways that illuminate the current state of the Wesleyan-related universities of Indiana. This volume also invites further scholarly conversations about how to engage the Wesleyan legacy in the twenty-first century.
