Samenvatting

This volume investigates the mass detention of Uyghurs in China, exploring the regimes of surveillance to which they are subjected both inside and outside the detention centres of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. It offers new insights into the future of the CCP’s domestic governance strategies and troubling international behaviour.

The Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region is the site of the largest mass repression of an ethnic and/or religious minority in the world today. Researchers estimate that since 2016 one million people have been detained there without trial.

Inside the detention centres individuals are exposed to deeply invasive forms of surveillance and psychological stress, while outside more than ten million Turkic Muslims are subjected to a network of hi-tech surveillance systems, checkpoints and interpersonal monitoring. Existing reportage and commentary on the crisis tend to address these issues in isolation, but this ground-breaking volume brings them together, exploring the interconnections between the core strands of the Xinjiang emergency in order to generate a more accurate understanding of its significance for the future of China. Divided into three parts, the book provides detailed historical context, exposes how repression is enacted and framed by the Chinese government and investigates the broader effects in China and beyond.

Written by an international group of scholars with a wide range of expertise, The Xinjiang emergency is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand this disturbing development, which has been described as an act of ‘cultural genocide’.
