Socio-economic development in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Regiondisparities and power struggle in China's North-West /[electronic resource] :by Alessandra Cappelletti. - Singapore :Springer Singapore :2020. - xxiii, 317 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Introduction -- Previous scholarship, methodology and the concept of development -- Xinjiang Economic Development -- Social development in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region -- Walking in Two Worlds: Kashgar and Shihezi -- Land use and acquisition dynamics in Kashgar: power struggles and social change in a contemporary oasis -- Uyghurs vs Uyghurs. Fragmented identities in contemporary Xinjiang -- Conclusions - The CCP and a "bridge society" in XUAR: ethnicity as a tool for social engineering and stratification.

In an unprecedented exploration of space and power in rural Xinjiang, a Chinese region home to the Muslim population of the Uyghurs, this book adopts a grounded theory approach and a trans-ethnic perspective into the complex and sensitive topic of land issues and agricultural land evictions in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. By exposing the dynamics of land acquisition and power building in the politically contested space of the region, the author shows how state owned land in a key commercial and cultural hub on the new Silk Road became a commodity, in a context of violent human interactions driven by power. Relying on previously undisclosed material and on a unique field research among farmers and local authorities, the author retraces the steps of Uyghur peasant workers, entangled in a suspended situation between abandoned rural villages, migration and urban alienation, in a book which explores agency in violent processes of social change, and adds concepts and insights to the current knowledge of how we become modern citizens. The microcosm of Kashgar, an oasis-city in Xinjiang, acts as a mirror reflecting socio political dynamics framing people's identity. Shedding light on one of the most inaccessible region in China, this book is a key read for academics and a broader public willing to get a clearer view of one of the sourest power struggle in the most contested region within the next superpower.
