Meer over het boek

The book explores the contemporary colonization of the Uyghur Muslim minority in Xinjiang, focusing on the mass detention of over one million Uyghurs in "reeducation camps" as part of a broader system termed "terror capitalism." Through ethnographic research in Ürümchi, Byler examines how media, state-imposed cultural values, and Han Chinese settlement contribute to Uyghur dispossession. He highlights the experiences of young Uyghur men facing state violence and their strategies for resilience, revealing the intertwined nature of capitalism and colonial domination in this context.
