Despite more than a decade of rapid economic development, rising
living standards, and large-scale improvements in infrastructure
and services, China's western borderlands are awash in a wave of
ethnic unrest not seen since the 1950s. Through on-the-ground
interviews and firsthand observations, the international experts in
this volume create an invaluable record of the conflicts and
protests as they have unfolded-the most extensive chronicle of
events to date. The authors examine the factors driving the unrest
in Tibet and Xinjiang and the political strategies used to suppress
them. They also explain why certain areas have seen higher
concentrations of ethnic-based violence than others. Essential
reading for anyone struggling to understand the origins of unrest
in contemporary Tibet and Xinjiang, this volume considers the role
of propaganda and education as generators and sources of conflict.
It links interethnic strife to economic growth and connects
environmental degradation to increased instability. It captures the
subtle difference between violence in urban Xinjiang and conflict
in rural Tibet, with detailed portraits of everyday individuals
caught among the pressures of politics, history, personal interest,
and global movements with local resonance.
