- This major research monograph analyses nation-building in Xinjiang from multiple perspectives (Han, Uyghurs, and party-state). The study used multiple methods, particularly analysis of official documents and interviews, both requiring extended fieldwork (two year-long periods and three follow-up trips) and long-term networking to access official documents and interviewees in a politically sensitive environment. The longitudinal analysis of identity narratives required multiple fieldwork trips over a 10-year period. Alongside these complexities in collecting a large and difficult-to-access body of material, the policies studied considerably changed during this period which required additional analysis, follow-up interviews, and updating of the original research.
