After hearing some stories about Xinjiang via ClubHouse, I suddenly realized my knowledge of Uygur history is so limited except some arrogance and China's propaganda.
So this CUHK published book gives me (a non-history background reader) a significant entrance to this period of history long before PRC was founded. How were the people in Xinjiang treated in Qing dynasty? What's the difference between Han people and ethics? How is the relation among people of different ethics in history as there were some conflicts in history? ....The book delivers a general picture.
In history we found lessons or,how to say, other possibilities. How small countries find their place to survive under superpowers?
