从“区域”到“整体”：回族史研究的历史人类学思考

摘要

目前，回族历史研究主要存在三种取向：一是受传统史学研究的影响，研究材料主要依赖于文献资料，缺乏对民间资料的重视；二是受回族分布格局的影响，区域性特点鲜明；三是受学科的影响，研究方法比较单一。文化的地域性和区域历史的特殊性，是回族历史研究不能忽视的两个方面。突出区域文化在回族历史研究方面有重要的作用。在加强回族区域历史“文本”书写的同时，注重回族史研究的整体建构，是回族历史研究应有之义。%At present, the historical study of the Hui Muslims mainly exists three kinds of orientation , the first was affected by the tradi-tional historical research , which was the materials research mainly depended on the literature ,and lack of attention to the private information;the second was affected by the distribution pattern of Hui Muslims with distinctive regional characteristics;the third was affected by subject, research method is relatively homogeneous .Regional culture and the specialty of regional history are two aspects not be ignored .Highlighting the regional culture plays an important role in the study of Hui Muslims ’ history.While strengthening the “text” writing of the Hui Mus-lims’ regional history, overall construction of the research on Hui Muslims’ history is the significance of the research.
