The author started photographing Uyghur texts in 2008 at the time of the Beijing olympics and continued to do so during 2009, the year of the so-called "Urumqi uprising" of July 5. This event generated a stream of texts posted in public spaces that reflected the efforts made by the authorities to re-establish control. In the course of his travels in the years thereafter the author continued to add to the corpus of photographed Uyghur texts. At the same time he started collecting, as comprehensively as possible, various types of folders, brochures, handouts, and product wrappings with texts illustrating aspects of Uyghur culture and society. The texts, published here for the first time, are primary source materials documenting a wide variety of aspects of daily life of the Uyghurs in Shinjang. The implicit messages or explicit references contained in many of these texts give them significance as clues towards an understanding of the existential realities they reflect or illustrate."--Provided by publisher. 546 $a Text in English, with some text in Uyghur. 651 0 $a Xinjiang Uygur Zizhiqu (China) $x Politics and government $y 21st century. 651 0 $a Xinjiang Uygur Zizhiqu (China) $x Civilization $y 21st century. 651 0 $a Xinjiang Uygur Zizhiqu (China) $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Wall newspapers $z Xinjiang Uygur Zizhiqu. $z Xinjiang Uygur Zizhiqu. 650 0 $a Uighur language $x Texts. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Jong, F. de, 1944- author. $t Uyghur texts in context $d Leiden ; Boston : Brill, [2017] $z 9789004354029 $w (DLC) 2017061387 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211024528.0 952 $l ZBPE245 $d 20180704043423.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8E66C65C580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
