Worse than Death
Uyghurs are descendants of Turkic peoples, currently facing genocide committed against them in their homeland, East Turkistan. This land has been colonized by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 1949, creating a police state and renamed Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR). In his book, Worse than Death: Reflections on the Uyghur Genocide, Mamtimin Ala explains how Uyghur rights have been diminishing under the authoritarian rule of the CCP, which has recently escalated into the cultural genocide of Uyghurs. Since Xi Jinping became President of the People’s Republic of China in 2013, he has clearly defined his political agenda towards Uyghurs of implementing the Four Breaks intended to...
Uyghur Texts in Context
The current volume presents a selection of 126 texts in Uyghur posted in public spaces, translated, and annotated for this book. The author started photographing Uyghur texts in 2008 at the time of the Beijing olympics and continued to do so during 2009, the year of the so-called “Urumqi uprising” of July 5. This event generated a stream of texts posted in public spaces that reflected the efforts made by the authorities to re-establish control. In the course of his travels in the years thereafter the author continued to add to the corpus of photographed Uyghur texts. At the same time he started collecting, as comprehensively as possible, various types of folders, brochures, handouts, and product wrappings with texts illustrating aspects of Uyghur culture and society. The texts, published here for the first time, are primary source materials documenting a wide variety of aspects of daily life of the Uyghurs in Shinjang. The implicit messages or explicit references contained in many of these texts give them significance as clues towards an understanding of the existential realities they reflect or illustrate.
Rehumanizing Muslim Subjectivities
Rehumanizing Muslim Subjectivities: Postcolonial Geographies, Postcolonial Ethics is a timely and urgent monograph, allowing us to imagine what it feels like to be the victim of genocide, abuse, dehumanization, torture and violence, something which many Muslims in Palestine, Kashmir, Pakistan, Myanmar, Syria, Iraq and China have to endure. Most importantly, the book emphasizes the continued relevance of creative literature’s potential to intervene in and transform our understanding of a conceptual and political field, as well as advanced technologies of power and domination. The book makes a substantial theoretical contribution by drawing on wide-ranging angles and dimensions of contempora...
Unruly Speech
Unruly Speech explores how Uyghurs in China and in the diaspora transgress sociopolitical limits with "unruly" communication practices in a quest for change. Drawing on research in China, the United States, and Germany, Saskia Witteborn situates her study against the backdrop of displacement and shows how naming practices and witness accounts become potent ways of resistance in everyday interactions and in global activism. Featuring the voices of Uyghurs from three continents, Unruly Speech analyzes the discursive and material force of place names, social media, surveillance, and the link between witnessing and the discourse on human rights. The book provides a granular view of disruptive communication: its global political moorings and socio-technical control. The rich ethnographic study will appeal to audiences interested in migration and displacement, language and social interaction, advocacy, digital surveillance, and a transnational China.
新疆再教育營
在新疆，高科技監控已經成為日常生活的一部分，大城市中監視器密布宛如「天網」，每隔兩百公尺就有一個檢查站，人們必須掃描身分證，通過依族群劃分的通道。另一端，螢幕中的人臉被以綠框或黃框鎖定，方框旁是人物的基本資料，綠框代表你是「還沒問題的人」，黃框則標示出你「需要被注意」。公安可以隨時要求你交出手機，檢查是否有「可疑」的聯繫紀錄，並強制安裝官方的監測APP。 中國政府之所以有如此強大監控系統，一方面是以全民健檢的名義，蒐集新疆兩千五百萬人的生物特徵，包含臉孔、虹膜、聲紋、...

Xinjiang – eine Region im Spannungsfeld von Geschichte und Moderne
Seit einigen Jahren ist Xinjiang zum Gegenstand einer weltweiten Debatte geworden, bei der Ethnizität und Menschenrechtsfragen im Vordergrund stehen. Der Vorwurf des Genozids wird erhoben. Mit diesem Band soll der Blick auf Xinjiang aus wissenschaftlicher Sicht geweitet werden. Einbezogen werden geschichtliche und geopolitische Hintergründe sowie neuere Erkenntnisse. Dabei kann der gesamte Xinjiang-Diskurs in den westlichen Medien nicht losgelöst von der allgemeinen China-Politik und der neuen „Systemrivalität“ zwischen „dem Westen“ und „den Autokratien“ gesehen werden.
