Just as global perceptions of Xinjiang have shifted dramatically,
so too has scholarship on the history, culture, and politics of the
Uyghur homeland experienced a sea-change. A field once dominated by
philology and geopolitical analysis has, since the 1990s, become a
site of vibrant interdisciplinary practice. Uyghur studies -
particularly research on gender, family, and the village economy -
are now often found at the intersection of anthropological
fieldwork, discursive analysis, textual studies, and social
history. This volume collects a series of studies on these themes,
drawing upon the innovative work of one of the field's leading
figures, Ildiko Beller-Hann. The result is a snapshot both of the
Uyghur region (and beyond) in the midst of change, and of a field
of scholarship that is evolving as the voices of people from the
region themselves increasingly come to the fore. More than a
reflection on the genealogy of this field's knowledge and
methodologies, this is a celebration of scholarly community - and
of the people at its center.
