The word “Uyghur” has gained popularity in human rights recently, and so has the fight for its people’s liberation from what is considered to be the biggest crime against humanity of our century. Numbers vary, but it is estimated that over one million people have been sent to internment camps in the Xinjiang since 2017.

In today’s episode we will be focusing on the history of Uyghurs, China’s minority policy and relations with its Central Asian neighbors.

Our distinguished guest is Dr. Dru C. Gladney, Professor and Chair of Anthropology at Pomona College, California.

This is the first episode in our series on the situation of Uyghurs and other minorities in Xinjiang.
