Inside Xinjiang: Space, Place And Power In China's Muslim Far Northwest (Routledge Contemporary China Series)

The tensions between ethnic Muslim Uighurs and the growing number of Han Chinese in Xinjiang have recently increased, occasionally breaking out into violence. At the same time as being a potential troublespot for China, the province is of increasing strategic importance as China's gateway to Central Asia whose natural resources are of increasing importance to China. This book presents much original research on a range of different aspects of Xinjiang. It covers social, political and economic subjects, concentrating especially on how current trends in Xinjiang are likely to develop in the future.
