The Uyghur Community by Gljanat Ercilasun

This book analyses the Uyghur community, presenting a brief historical background of the Uyghurs and debating the challenges of emerging Uyghur nationalism in the early 20th century.

The Uyghur Community is an exciting volume encompassing various topics centred around the Uyghurs inside and outside the PRCIt gives the reader valuable insights not only about the roots of mistrust between the Chinese (Han) and Uyghur but it also explains the causes of rising nationalism in the region. What the reader might find particularly interesting is the description of the Uyghur diaspora and its role in the geopolitics and the bilateral relations between Turkey and the PRC.
