"Since antiquity, the vast Central Eurasian region of Xinjiang, or Eastern Turkestan, has stood at the crossroads of China, India, the Middle East, and Europe. James A. Millward offers an engaging and comprehensive account of Xinjiangs history and people from earliest times to the present day, examining the region's rich Silk Road cultural heritage as well as its contemporary geopolitical significance. This revised and updated edition features new empirically grounded and balanced analysis of the latest developments in the region, focusing on the circumstances of the Uyghurs, Kazakhs, and other Xinjiang peoples in the face of policies implemented by the Chinese Communist Party."-- Publisher.
