Abstract	:	This dissertation examines patterns of intermarriage between members of a Chinese Muslim ethnic group (the Hui) with non-Muslims (mostly Han) in eastern China. More specifically, the research documents how Islamic affiliation and ethnic identity are negotiated and changed at marriage in the context of strong interventions by the Chinese State into the affairs of ethnic minorities. There were several research questions. 1) How do State policies that benefit ethnic minorities motivate members of the Han majority to change their ethnic identification to minority status at the time of marriage? 2) How do intermarried minority members maintain their Islamic identity despite strict Islamic intermarriage prohibitions, particularly with regards to women? 3) Why do all intermarried couples choose minority status for their children? 4) What type of religious and ethnic education is offered to these children of intermarried couples?
