In Terror Capitalism anthropologist Darren Byler theorizes the
contemporary Chinese colonization of the Uyghur Muslim minority
group in the northwest autonomous region of Xinjiang. He shows that
the mass detention of over one million Uyghurs in "reeducation
camps" is part of processes of resource extraction in Uyghur lands
that have led to what he calls terror capitalism-a configuration of
ethnoracialization, surveillance, and mass detention that in this
case promotes settler colonialism. Drawing on ethnographic
fieldwork in the regional capital UErumchi, Byler shows how media
infrastructures, the state's enforcement of "Chinese" cultural
values, and the influx of Han Chinese settlers contribute to Uyghur
dispossession and their expulsion from the city. He particularly
attends to the experiences of young Uyghur men-who are the primary
target of state violence-and how they develop masculinities and
homosocial friendships to protect themselves against gendered,
ethnoracial, and economic violence. By tracing the political and
economic stakes of Uyghur colonization, Byler demonstrates that
state-directed capitalist dispossession is coconstructed with a
colonial relation of domination.
