Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Timely and important." * The Times Literary Supplement *
"Harsh Chinese policies have provoked some reactive violence from Uighurs and have driven what is estimated to be tens of thousands of them to join jihadis in Syria. Roberts provides fascinating new details on that relatively marginal phenomenon, revealing that organized Uighur militancy is almost entirely illusory. Beijing’s policy of repressive assimilation has now reached such an intense stage that Roberts labels it 'cultural genocide.'" * Foreign Affairs *
"This timely, thought-provoking, and significant book should thus be of utmost interest to any reader who wants to live in the rules-based international order, however imperfect it may often seem to be."
---Prof. Konstantinas Andrijauskas, The Rest Journal
