More than a quarter of a million Muslims live and work in Hong Kong.Among them are descendants of families who have been in the city for generations, recent immigrants from around the world, and growing numbers of migrant workers. Islam in Hong Kong explores the lives of Muslims as ethnic andreligious minorities in this unique postcolonial Chinese city. Drawing on interviews with Muslims of different origins, O'Connorbuilds a detailed picture of daily life through topical chapters on language, space, religious education, daily prayers, maintaining a halal diet in a Chinese environment,racism, and other subjects. Although thepicture that emerges is complex and ambiguous, one strikingconclusionis that Muslims in Hong Kong generally find acceptance as a community and do not considerthemselves to be victimised because of their religion.
