{"product_id":"the-traveling-minzu-mei-ding-9781032195209","title":"The Traveling Minzu: Uyghur Muslim Migration and the Negotiation of Identities","description":"\u003cp\u003eBased on the everyday experiences of Uyghur business migrants, this book investigates how individuals embody and deploy \u003ci\u003eminzu\u003c\/i\u003e, one of the fundamental concepts in political and socioeconomic discourses in China after 1949, and how this concept travels to Australia with the migrants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough research on Uyghurs at the Tarim (pseudonym) restaurant in ﾜr?chi, Uyghur migrants in other major cities in China, and, finally, the immigrants in multicultural Australia, the author explains how they perceive the concept of \u003ci\u003eminzu\u003c\/i\u003e and how the concept and identity has been reformed and reshaped in specific social and economic contexts. She argues that these Uyghur migrants' \u003ci\u003eminzu\u003c\/i\u003e concept is closely intertwined with citizenship, which entails not only a set of legally defined rights and obligations but also a sense of equality and respect. The book provides a new way of reflecting on who the \"Chinese\" are and what form the \"Chineseness\" takes in a transnational context. Following the \u003ci\u003eminzu\u003c\/i\u003e concept in China and Australia, this book shows how cultural intimacy and critical multiculturalism can provide better sociocultural space for various Muslim migrant communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will appeal to social and cultural anthropologists and university students who are interested in China and Inner Asia, ethnicity, and transnational migration between China and the South Pacific.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mei Ding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032195207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032195209\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/29\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Mei Ding","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44066894381311,"sku":"9781032195209","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cb1454e3-db6c-49d3-ab58-84af105b2ded.jpg?v=1685409962","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-traveling-minzu-mei-ding-9781032195209","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
