“…Community development based on religions is a notable trend in China that influences growing economic development and mobilizing social interactions. Most studies have focused on community development across different geographic spaces: urban, suburban, and rural (Dai, 2016;Ding, 2020;Finley, 2007;Lo, 2020;Sher & Wu, 2018;Xu, 2007). However, a balanced religious perspective as an empowerment model has generally been absent specifically from the discussion.…”

“…Harmonious co-existence between Islam and Confucianism and mutual respect between Muslims and Non-Muslims is mainstream in China and the Muslim World. Disharmony and conflict among various ethnic groups manifested intolerance and oppression should be abandoned(Finley, 2007).Third, it is moderation and reason. In an age of modernization, the traditional, influential position of Islam in society has changed rapidly.…”

“…El análisis del conflicto en Xinjiang ha sido analizado en la literatura existente desde diferentes perspectivas. Con un enfoque interétnico-cultural, Smith Finley (2007) sugiere que la comunidad uigur encuentra en el Islam un mecanismo de identidad y autorrepresentación política. El autor argumenta que el comercio entre China y Asia Central ha generado sinergias que han terminado con el aislacionismo de la comunidad musulmana en Xinjiang, además de generar conexiones religiosas con otros países, las cuales refuerzan la identidad y un sentimiento de "separación" respecto de la cultura han.…”

The Xinjiang region is strategic for the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative due to the natural resources it has and the geographic, political and economic nexus with the countries of Central Asia. This article argues that the policies of the Chinese Government to trigger economic development in the region have brought in parallel, greater repression and exclusion of the Uyghur community in a government attempt to accelerate the cultural, political and economic assimilation of ethnic minorities with the Han culture. There is currently a human rights crisis in the region, which is characterized by a marked deterioration of civil and religious liberties, extreme vigilance, arbitrary detentions, multiplication of reeducation camps, restrictions on freedom of expression and association, etc.

“…In this view, fundamentalist Islam (that which defines itself as “pure”) constitutes a threat to Uyghur culture and runs counter to Uyghurs’ heritage (2008: 414). Since these intellectuals consider Uyghur nationalism the foremost feature of their identity, ahead of Islam (Fuller and Lipman, 2004: 340; Smith Finley, 2007: 631), the religious symbols in their poems are primarily expressions of national identity and are not meant to reflect the various groups in their society or the whole range of Uyghur Islam.…”

“Green-Colored Uyghur Poet”: Religion, Nostalgia, and Identity in Contemporary Uyghur Poetry

There is wide consensus that Islam is an important rallying point for the Uyghurs and an essential component of their national identity. Yet despite its centrality in Uyghur culture, there is only marginal reference to religion in modern Uyghur poetry. In this article, I argue that poets such as Adil Tuniyaz, Tahir Hamut Izgil, and others, most of whom are secular and urban, choose to relate to religion through mysticism and nostalgia in reaction to the Chinese state’s characterization of Islam as identified with violent fundamentalism and terrorism. By avoiding the use of separatist symbols, these poets contribute to a broad national ethos that strengthens contemporary Uyghur identity.
