Andrée Feillard ed., L’Islam en Asie, du Caucase à la Chine

This collection sets out to show that Asian Islam is not peripheral, as is often supposed. Relying on their own specialist knowledge, each author gives a general picture of the historical spread of Islam in their particular area: in Russia, the Caucasus, and Central Asia for Stéphane Dudoignon; the Indian subcontinent for Aminah Mohammad-Arif; South-East Asia for Andrée Feillard; and China for Elisabeth Allès. They then analyse the current situation, with particular reference to such topics a..

Michael Dillon, Xinjiang―China’s Muslim Far North West

A combination of a massive process of demographic colonisation and a policy for the development of the western region of China (xibu dakaifa), the stabilisation of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region is a principal target of China’s security policy. Yet, the ins and outs of this thorny problem are still largely unrecognised, mainly for lack of research. Michael Dillon, who has paid several visits to China’s north west and travelled throughout the Uyghur diaspora, has earned himself great me..

Michael Dillon, Xinjiang-China’s Muslim Far North West

Couplée à un processus massif de colonisation démographique et au projet de développement économique du Grand Ouest (xibu dakaifa), la stabilisation de la région autonome des Ouïghours du Xinjiang est un objectif majeur de la politique sécuritaire chinoise. Pourtant, les tenants et les aboutissants de ce problème épineux pour Pékin restent largement méconnus, en raison notamment du manque d’études sur la question. Michael Dillon qui a effectué plusieurs séjours dans le nord-ouest de la Chine ..

The Uyghurs in Xinjiang – The Malaise Grows

Over the past twenty years, the unrest in Xinjiang has intensified and Uyghur nationalist feeling has strengthened. This study aims to throw light on the causes of the current rise of Uyghur nationalism and the forms it has taken. We shall draw attention to the determining effect of a socio-political context driven by colonial logics in order to explain how the nationalist ideology has been reinforced, with its aim of restoring to the Uyghurs—or more generally to the Turkic-speaking populatio..
