H-ASIA January 23. 2011 WWW Resource: Xinjiang Review - Electronic journal and Forum ************************************************************************ From: Reviews of Internet resources for Asian Studies <asia-www-monitor@anu.edu.au> The Asian Studies WWW Monitor: Jan 2011, Vol. 18, No. 1 (320) -------------------------------------------------------------- 21 Jan 2011 Xinjiang Review - Electronic journal and Forum Xinjiang Review, Washington, DC, USA. Supplied-note: "For submission of articles, registration, subscription, publication, and donation, Please contact xinjiangreview.com via xinjiangreview@gmail.com Please follow xinjiangreview.com on twitter.com for updates. "The terminology of 'Xinjiang' (New Territory, New Region, or New Dominion) reflects the Qing expansion and imperialism in 18th century Central Asia, while 'East Turkistan Republic' (or East Turkistan Islamic Republic) attempts to cover the nature of various Uyghur nationalistic movements in the early 20th century against the Manchu-Chinese Empire. These highly politicized geographic terminologies reveal the dynamics and developments of the region in politics, ethnicity, and societies and in many ways highlight different ways of thinking about Xinjiang history and its future destiny. It is only for the purpose of convenience and consistency that this website/E-journal deploys the popular term 'Xinjiang' referring to this highly contested region of Central Asia. To use 'Xinjiang' also implies that the chronology spans from the Qing dynasty, when the region became the Qing's new dominion, to the present, in which disputes and conflicts over the legitimate status of the region between China and local Uyghurs still remain. Xinjiang Review is [...] run by independent scholars headquartered in Washington, D.C. It is a non-governmental and non-profit forum. All opinions and views expressed on this forum/E-journal only represent writers' own arguments and judgments. The website welcomes good-willed donation from members for hosting and maintaining the web. Interested donors please contact? Xinjiangreview@gmail.com - xinjiangreview." Self-description: "Forum Description: Xinjiang has again become the pivot of China, Central Asia, and even the world in this century in terms of political significance and security arrangements in Central Asia. Scholars and observers from surrounding countries and beyond have begun to invest unprecedented efforts to illuminate the nature of historical and contemporary events there. However, due to various historical, linguistic, political, and academic traditions and taboos, studies on Xinjiang are highly fragmented and biased among ethnic and national lines. [...] Xinjiang Review is founded exactly in such context as a platform for concerned Xinjiang scholars of various disciplines, regions, and nationalities. It especially welcomes Uyghur and Han scholars from Xinjiang and China proper to contribute insights and exchange perspectives."
