This talk is based on a chapter of my forthcoming book (Ethnicity in China: A Critical Introduction, 2015). I will give some historical and current info about Uyghurs and Xinjiang. A number of questions will be asked and addressed such as: Who are Uyghurs? Are they the aboriginals of Xinjiang? Where did they come from? When did China exercise de facto control over Xinjiang? Why is there growing Uyghur separatism despite post-1978 economic development in Xinjiang?
是次講座將會基於臧教授即將出版的新書 - << Ethnicity in China: A Critical Introduction, 2015>>中的一個章節。臧教授将會跟大家探討有關維吾爾族和新疆的歷史與現況，例如:誰是維吾爾人？維吾爾人是新疆的原住民嗎？他們源於哪裏？中國何時開始了對新疆行使實際控制權？儘管新疆自1978年後已有經濟增長，為何維族分離主義活動卻越来越頻繁？
