Rezumat.
Xinjiang este una dintre cele mai mari provincii din China. Din 1949, guvernarea comunista din China a facut sa migreze milioane de chinezi din etnia han la Xinjiang, din motive politice si economice. Migratia populatiei han a dus la schimbari demografice ale provinciei, procentul chinezilor han de aici crescând la 42%, de la 6% în 1949. Aceasta migratie a populatiei han a avut, de asemenea, un mare impact asupra sodetätii si economiei din Xinjiang. Cea mai mare parte a localnicilor din Xianjiang îi blameaza pe chinezii han, acuzând ca acestia le iau locurile de munca si resursele provinciei, ca guvernul îi prefera în detrimentul celor nascuti aici.
Lucrarea de fata va evidentia impactul socio-economic al acestor migratii în Xinjiang si raspunsul dat de uiguri.
