“Cappelletti provides a highly nuanced and illuminating account of ethnic relations in the region and what it means to be a Uyghur. It is a valuable contribution to the scholarly literature on Xinjiang. … This is a detailed book that will be of interest to scholars researching Xinjiang, the situation of the Uyghurs, as well as research of internal colonies more generally.” (Anna Hayes, China Information, Vol. 35 (1), 2021)
