China and Central Eurasia: Empires and Middle Grounds

Rian Thum portrait

Rian Thum is Senior Lecturer at the University of Manchester. His research and teaching are generally concerned with the interpenetration of China and the Muslim World. His 2014 book, The Sacred Routes of Uyghur History, argues for the central role of sacred sites and local Islamic texts in the maintenance of Uyghur identity. Thum's current book project, Islamic China, is a re-examination of Chinese Islam that takes full account of the numerous Persian and Arabic sources that Chinese-speaking Muslims have used and written. Since the emergence of China's mass internment program for Turkic minorities, Thum has consulted for media organizations, businesses, NGOs, and government agencies developing responses to the emergency in Xinjiang. In addition to his academic publications, Thum's writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Foreign Affairs, and The Nation.
