Send message to Authors

Abstract:

This talk explores the feelings of fear and uncertainty among Uyghur emigres during the Sino-Soviet split in the late 1960s and 1970s. Using oral interviews, it examines the impact of these emotions on the lives of Uyghurs amidst geopolitical upheaval. Additionally, the interviews reveal the hopeful aspirations for their homeland's freedom if conflict were to occur between the two superpowers.
