Abstract

The Cham Muslims of the Mekong delta address the problems and opportunities of Vietnam’s liberal reform era with strategies of trade and mobility. This paper situates Cham trading activities in an ongoing history of movement and examines the spatial and cultural singularities of Cham economic life.
