Xinjiang and the Modern Chinese State synopsis

Xinjiang and the modern Chinese state view China's modern political history from the perspective of Han officials who were commissioned by Xinjiang. This region, inhabited by the Uighurs, Kazak, Hui, Mongols, Kergis, and Tajiks, is also the last "colony" of the former Qing Empire to remain under constant Chinese rule throughout the 20th century. By showing the responses of other Chinese and imperial elites to the growing threat of national design across Eurasia, Justin Jacobs argues that the modern Chinese state is being re-imagined as a "national empire." He explains how the region's management strategies were formulated in the late Qing, Republican and communist periods and formed a response to competing platforms of ethnic differences characterized by Soviet and other geopolitical competitors throughout India and East Asia.

It traces the political history of Xinjiang through the Bolshevik Revolution, the years of war, the Chinese Civil War, the large-scale emigration of Han in the People's Republic of China, and the efforts of the exiled Xinjiang government in Taiwan after 1949 to demand allegiance to Xinjiang refugees.
