Community matters in Xinjiang, 1880-1949
towards a historical anthropology of the Uyghur
by Ildikó Bellér-Hann and Ildikó Bellér-Hann
"Based on a wide range of western and local materials, this book offer an introduction to the historical anthropology of the Muslim Uyghur of Xinjiang from the late 19th century to 1949. The author argues that social relations in this era were shaped at all levels by the principles of reciprocity and community. Particular attention is paid to the domestic domain and to life-cycle and religious rituals. This is the first time that Xinjiang has been approached from the perspective of historical anthropology. Giving substance to the concept of tradition, which modern Uyghurs invoke when constructing their collective identity, Beller-Hann's study also has implications for the analyses of contemporary inter-ethnic relations in this sensitive region."--BOOK JACKET.
