“Extraordinarily insightful and informative...Holdstock is a journalist who has travelled and lived in Xinjiang on and off since 2001. His new book will make anyone who writes about the region think more deeply” ―Literary Review
“Lucid and up-to-date [Nick Holdstock] makes the case for a deeper understanding of Xinjiang at the moment, a combination of official defensiveness in China and politicisation of agendas outside means that dialogue on this crucial issue barely exists. It is to be hoped that Nick Holdstock s book and others like it will stimulate precisely this sort of dialogue. Without it, a real, and lasting, tragedy is threatened: for the people of Xinjiang and of China, but also those of the region and the wider world.” ―Open Democracy
“Refreshingly, this is a work of scepticism rather than sensationalism...the author's experience in the region and his incorporation of the latest scholarship make this the most reliable journalistic account of Xinjiang published in the past few decades. For the policy-maker or the general reader seeking an overview of what is known about Uyghur resistance to Chinese rule, this is a much-needed resource.” ―Times Literary Supplement
“As someone who has extensively travelled in the region for 15 years, Holdstock's book gives us a rare glimpse into the land and its people, and how the policies of the Chinese state have led to an extreme sense of alienation among the Uyghurs, with some of them turning to radical steps and violence.” ―Gulf News
“'China's repressive policy towards its Islamic fringe has badly backfired - there was no Islamic extremism in China until Beijing inadvertently created it, according to Nick Holdstock's measured history of the Uighurs of Xinjiang.” ―Spectator

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. After isolated terrorist incidents in 2015, the Chinese leadership has cracked down hard on Xinjiang and its Uyghurs. Today, there are thought to be up to a million Muslims held in 're-education camps' in the Xinjiang region of North-West China. One of the few Western commentators to have lived in the region, journalist Nick Holdstock travels into the heart of the province and reveals the Uyghur story as one of repression, hardship and helplessness. China's Forgotten People explains why repression of the Muslim population is on the rise in the world's most powerful one-party state. This updated and revised edition reveals the background to the largest known concentration camp network in the modern world, and reflects on what this means for the way we think about China.
