My book, ‘Securing China’s Northwest Frontier: Identity and Insecurity in Xinjiang’, is now available from @CambridgeUP @cambUP_History. It analyses how China’s nation-building in #Xinjiang shapes insecurity and ethnic boundaries between Han and #Uyghurs. doi.org/10.1017/978110877040…

As part of #Uyghur Solidarity Month, @amnesty International are screening Echoes of Home, a documentary by David Tobin and Mirshad Ghalip. The panel discussion afterwards includes @KabirQurban. I hope you can join us.

@amnesty 's Uyghur Solidarity Month is organised by the ever-dedicated @em_upson because "atrocity prevention must remain an urgent priority far beyond the headlines" and "to allow activists to learn from and support a range of Uyghur people."

"The case of Turkey demonstrates that #China’s repertoire of #transnationalrepression operates in interaction with the host state’s administrative and ideological apparatus...this repressive architecture progressively erodes the diaspora’s security"
I thought George Galloway would be happy about this. He usually commends the CCP's policies of arbitrary detention of 100,000s of people for their opinions in China.
To the best of my knowledge I have never met a member of the IRGC. Neither expressed “a positive opinion” about them. An English woman named Shabana Mahmood has just made it punishable by 14 years in prison so to do so as a free-born Scotsman I will have to reconsider that. So far as I’m aware - as a UK legislator across five decades - this is the first time I have been explicitly told that I can go to prison literally for my opinion. For those of you cheering, remember, it will be your opinion next.
The Party's Working Group meetings after the events of July 5th and 7th 2009 was the key turning point in #China's ethnic policy shift towards violent assimilation.

Policymakers and the media need rigorous research by independently minded scholars to make sense of Chinese politics and society.
INCCS will tackle the big and difficult questions about "China's rise".

Great to see the International Network for Critical China Studies (INCCS) officially launch.
I am proud to be part of it. The network is based at the University of Sheffield. @ReasonablyRagin
