Recenzii

“The contributors’ views, observations and data and information provided from various primary and secondary sources make this one of the finest volumes available to date on the topic for a wide audience. Well documented with thoroughly researched papers, this book will definitely cater to the interests of students, researchers and academicians working on issues related to the Uyghur community.” (Mahesh Ranjan Debata, Diaspora Studies, Vol. 15 (3), August, 2022)
“The Uyghur Community is an exciting volume encompassing various topics centred around the Uyghurs inside and outside the PRC. It gives the reader valuable insights not only about the roots of mistrust between the Chinese (Han) and Uyghur but it also explains the causes of rising nationalism in the region. What the reader might find particularly interesting is the description of the Uyghur diaspora and its role in the geopolitics and the bilateral relations between Turkey and the PRC.” (Martin Lavička, Asian Ethnicity, January, 2019)​
