Based on a longitudinal field research between 2006 to 2017, a period in which Grose spoke with over sixty graduates of the boarding school programme, the book offers an assessment of the effectiveness of programme in meeting its political goals and a detailed picture of the dynamics of Uyghur identity. The experiences of Uyghur graduates of the Xinjiang Class reveal how young, educated Uyghurs strategically and selectively embrace elements of the corporate Chinese 'Zhonghua minzu' identity in order to stretch the boundaries of a collective Uyghur identity. This identity is expressed through renewed efforts to practice Islam, the insistence on speaking Uyghur, and the reluctance to befriend Han classmates. ER -
