Uyghur History Project
In the last century, China’s northwestern Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region has been a theatre of international and regional conflicts, sectarian strife and social upheaval. Today, an estimated 1.5 million of Xinjiang’s native Uyghur population have been incarcerated and subjected to various forms of persecution. Understanding how history has transpired into the current reality is important, because it gives us a direction for taking meaningful action. Join our scholarly discussion on Xinjiang’s past and present, the Uyghur people and their place in the world in the 21st century.
