DESCRIPTION:Sajida Tursun on&nbsp\;Media\, Networking\, and Globalization: 
 Constructing a Muslim Community in ShanghaiSajida Tursun\, Max Planck Inst
 itute\, GermanyChinese Muslims living in contemporary Shanghai have divers
 e regional\, cultural\, and political backgrounds. They perceive “being Mu
 slim” both at an individual level and as part of a shared identity which i
 s constantly emphasized in their everyday lives. This shared identity is o
 ften expressed through the concept of qerindash(brothers and sisters) as w
 ell as in their efforts to build up a “healthy” Muslim community in the co
 ntext of state-sponsored secularist policies. Through the social use of me
 dia in religious life\, these self-defined Muslims develop their understan
 dings of community within a context of globalization in Shanghai’s urban e
 nvironment. For them\, Islam is conceptualized not only as shared belief a
 nd practice\, but also as a medium for networking both online and offline.
