E-grāmata: Uyghur Women Activists in the Diaspora: Restorying a Genocide

This is the first book to specifically highlight the critical role Uyghur women in diaspora have played in bringing attention to the challenges that Uyghurs face today. These oral histories reveal the fortitude of a community under duress, and are an important backdrop for examining Uyghur activism through a gender lens. * Rebecca Clothey, Professor of Global Studies, Drexel University, USA * Uyghur Women Activists in the Diaspora goes beyond mere storytelling. It delves into the complex interplay of religion, politics, and psychology that fueled the womens evolving self-identities and ideologies ... Through their powerful narratives, the book exposes the competing narratives surrounding the dire situation in East Turkestan. By restorying a genocide, as the title suggests, these women actively challenge the erasure of their experiences and demand international recognition of the injustices they and their community face. Uyghur Women Activists in the Diaspora serves as a potent testament to the resilience and courage of Uyghur women. * Uyghur Times * This short book is a classroom-friendly text. It can certainly be used in Womens Studies courses.
