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. 606 $aSocial structure 606 $aEquality 606 $aChina?History 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aSocial Structure, Social Inequality$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22010 606 $aHistory of China$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715010 606 $aRegional Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913050 607 $aXinjiang Uygur Zizhiqu (China)$xEconomic conditions 607 $aXinjiang Uygur Zizhiqu (China)$xSocial conditions 615 0$aSocial structure. 615 0$aEquality. 615 0$aChina?History. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 14$aSocial Structure, Social Inequality. 615 24$aHistory of China. 615 24$aRegional Development. 676 $a330.951 700 $aCappelletti$b Alessandra$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0963834 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910370057203321 996 $aSocio-Economic Development in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region$92185809 997 $aUNINA
