Table of ContentsReviews“Since 2014, PRC state violence conducted in the name of the ‘People’s War on Terror’ has caused accelerated numbers of Uyghurs to haemorrhage into every corner of the globe. This volume, edited by two established experts on Uyghur education, religion, culture and folklore, first outlines coercive practices of cultural erasure in the Uyghur homeland. It then proceeds to explore how Uyghurs in diaspora attempt in that context to maintain, preserve (but also adapt) their language and culture, across generations, in the face of ongoing anxiety, trauma and depression. Many contributors are themselves members of the Uyghur diaspora. In sharing their extensive fieldwork (in some cases, pseudonymously), they emerge sensitively as scholars, advocates and, above all, human beings.” - Joanne Smith Finley, Reader in Chinese Studies, Newcastle University, UK Author InformationRebecca Clothey is Professor and Head of Drexel University’s Department of Global Studies and Modern Languages. Her current research on maintenance and transmission of Uyghur culture spans several countries, including China, the United States, and Türkiye. She was a visiting scholar at Boğaziçi University in Istanbul in 2018-2019 and at Xinjiang Normal University in 2014. Dr. Clothey has been awarded two Fulbright Fellowships for her research, one to China and one to Uzbekistan, a Spencer Fellowship to study community-based schools in Argentina, and an NEH-ARIT Fellowship to study cultural transmission among the Uyghur diaspora in Türkiye.
