There has been a significant increase in the twenty-first century
in the frequency and intensity of violent incidents in the Xinjiang
Uyghur Autonomous Region, the far northwest province of China,
where the Uyghurs, the Turkic-speaking Muslim people who
historically constituted the majority population, feel themselves
displaced and discriminated against by the growing in-migration of
Han Chinese. The book explores the continuing unrest in Xinjiang.
It focuses in particular on the major violence of July 2009 in the
city of Urumqi, on repression and the practice of Islam in southern
Xinjiang, and on the policy of the Chinese Communist Party which
has used the rhetoric of the "War on Terror" to justify its
repression in terms which it hopes will gain sympathy from the
international community. The book relates these particular points
to the development of China-Uyghur relations more broadly in the
longer historical perspective, and concludes by discussing how the
situation is likely to unfold in future.
