Reviews
This volume profiles the Muslim communities in and just outside Beijing, China, through text and photographs. The text, loosely organized around the five pillars of Islamic faith - the profession of faith, prayer, fasting, alms, and the pilgrimage to Mecca - provides a description of the historical development of this community and of their social and religious lives in China's capital city and is accompanied by some 60 color photographs of life in the Muslim quarter of Beijing and among Muslims in outlying counties., The Perfumed Palace by M.A. Aldrich and Lukas Nikol (photographer) is a most unusual and interesting book about the history of Islam in China. The book is well written by a lawyer who has lived in China for nearly two decades. Nikol, the photographer/graphic designer, is a frequent traveler in the Far East and has illustrated another unauthorized photographic book about Korea. The Perfumed Palace traces the history of the way Islam religion integrated so well into China that it seems like a delicate perfume which just enhances a place but remains unobtrusive and blends in without calling attention to itself but becomes a part of the fabric of life around it. The Silk Road in ancient China made this a natural evolution of events. It is a very well written and interesting book.
