Book Synopsis
The Turkic Muslims known as the Uighur have long faced social and economic disadvantages in China because of their minority status.

Trade Review
“A valuable case study focusing on the degree of Uighur assimilation or desire for assimilation to the majority Han society.... engagingly written.... Highly recommended.” * CHOICE *
“The truth is that there is no cut-and-dry answer to these problems, but this book has done an exceptional job foreshadowing the riots of July 2009 by examining the deep-rooted problems that Xinjiang’s ethnic groups face. It’s the same problems that many people have when forming opinions about Xinjiang, one reason this book would be a beneficial read for them.” * Xinjiang Far West China Blog *
