Drawing together distinguished international scholars, this volume
offers a unique insight into the social and cultural hybridity of
the Uyghurs. It bridges a gap in our understanding of this group,
an officially recognized minority mainly inhabiting the Xinjiang
Uyghur Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China, with
significant populations also living in the Central Asian states.
The volume is comparative and interdisciplinary in focus:
historical chapters explore the deeper problems of Uyghur identity
which underpin the contemporary political situation; and
sociological and anthropological comparisons of a range of
practices from music culture to life-cycle rituals illustrate the
dual, fused nature of contemporary Uyghur social and cultural
identities. Contributions by 'local' Uyghur authors working within
Xinjiang also demonstrate the possibilities for Uyghur advocacy in
social and cultural policy-making, even within the current
political climate.
