Literatura académica sobre el tema "Xinjiang Uygur Zizhiqu (China) – Ethnic relations"

The article discusses the national policy of the People's Republic of China in relation to the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Recently, the national question in the PRC has been raised again. Its relevance is due not only to the tragic events that took place in the XUAR, but also to the grandiose plans that were set by the PRC leadership on the eve of the upcoming anniversary of the country. Relations with many peoples that are part of the PRC have a long history of development. This article will discuss the history of the development of Chinese policy towards the Uighurs, who are the predominant ethnic group in the territory of the XUAR. Not only the prestige of the PRC in the international arena, but also the implementation of several economic projects depends on how this issue is resolved soon.
 

AbstractAs the domestic interprovincial migrants, Uygur traders have been engaged in the Hetian jade trade from Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region to the city of Nanyang in Henan Province. Having lived in the private rented houses around the market in the early days, they moved into the government-built public rental housing in 2017, an independently managed community. They have maintained their past residential pattern of living around the market, and gradually develop the community into an inter-embedded multi-ethnic community together with other ethnic groups. Through the history of the formation of the Uygur community in Nanyang Stone Town, this paper presents the process of interaction between the ethnic minority migrants and the local community, examines the responses and influence of the market, society, government, and individuals in this process, aiming to understand how the minority community was formed, to deepen understanding of the “inter-embedded multi-ethnic community", and, in turn, to promote research and reflection on the development of the ethnic community during urbanization in China. This study suggests that such communities surrounding the market are socially extended based on inter-embedded livelihood. The open national market is the core of the social structure of inter-embedded ethnic groups, and market exchange is one of the main relations generated in the current interactions between the ethnic groups. The government’s efforts to build inter-embedded communities are conducive to transforming the relationships among ethnic groups from limited interaction to comprehensive and balanced development. Moreover, the improvement of common living environments and increase in exchanges are conducive to upgrading interactions between individuals to extensive and in-depth exchanges among different ethnic groups.

This study seeks to ascertain whether Chinese soft power can shape or sway the sense of belonging and identity of Uighurs within the Chinese state. The methodology used for this study will involve surveys and interviews, employing the two primary quantitative and qualitative methods. The findings from this study suggest that Chinese soft power, in the form of education in a controlled environment, does have this ability to sway Uighur to identify with the Chinese state. However, gauging the views of the wider educated Uighur community, indicates that the effectiveness of Chinese soft power is constrained by multiple social, political and economic issues. Based on the analysis of these findings, there appears to be three potential solutions: (i) create a multi-ethnic culture, (ii) incorporate civic nationalism as a component of PRC citizenship and (iii) to reformulate soft power into the form of shared goals that would require cooperation between Uighur and Hans to accomplish.

Oil and Water is a multidisciplinary investigation of Han settlers' experiences of life in PRC-era Korla, Xinjiang, based on over two years of ethnographic fieldwork. Korla is the administrative centre for oil and gas exploitation in the Tarim Basin (South Xinjiang), has a 70% Han population, and is the fastest-developing urban region in Xinjiang. South Xinjiang is otherwise populated predominantly by Turkic Uyghurs. Designated an "All-China Civilised City," Korla is a socio-economic, political and aesthetic model. I present the Han in Xinjiang through a combination of photographic images, life histories, national histories and analyses of the social structures and institutions in which they live. Building on CW Mills' insight that "history, biography and social structure [are] the three coordinate points for the proper study" of men and women, I insist that vision must also be taken into account, in both its forms: the visual (images and aesthetics) and the prospective (imagination and aspiration). Visions of the future flourish in the imaginations of the frontier. The experience of being Han in Xinjiang encompasses many classic topics of Chinese sociology, such as "work units" (danwei {u5355}{u4F4D} ) and "connections" (guanxi {u5173}{u7CFB}), and is additionally inflected by Han settlers' roles as agents and objects of a "colonial endeavour," or "civilising project," on the spatial and cultural periphery of the PRC. The structure of this dissertation reflects this topical diversity. The first half focuses on the core of the Korla model-the Tarim Oil Company and its population{u00AC}and their effects on the surrounding space and society. I identify the Tarim Oil Company as a neo-danwei, a development of the socialist-era work unit form, created and enabled by the conditions of permanent market transition, ideological intermixture, and the perceived "behindness" of the frontier. Later chapters deal with Han guanxi networks and the marriage economy in Karla city, linking these informal structures of control and hierarchy to the formal structures of the local government and the state-dominated employment market. Other key aspects of being Han in Xinjiang include: the long-established loyalty-for-entitlement relationship with the central government; increasing intra-Han social stratification and competition; and the uncertainty about their place in contemporary China. My focus on Han people differentiates this study from the majority of works on contemporary Xinjiang, which tend to look at Uyghurs, the (Han-dominated) Chinese state, and the contention between them. In this study, Uyghur-state contention is seen from the point of view of Han society in Xinjiang, and is used to illuminate Han society-state relations. I find that Han people and institutions in Xinjiang leverage discourses of ethnic separatism and instability to attract resources from the central state. The assumed instability of the Uyghur population and the historical tensions associated with Chinese governance of the periphery makes stability among the Han of increasing concern to the central state.
