Uyghur Resistance

Uyghur Resistance disrupts the trend where identities are flattened, stories distorted, and experiences spoken about but rarely heard to afford Uyghur people a platform with which to tell their own stories,

in their own words, for their own sake. In the face of an ongoing genocide perpetrated by one of the most powerful regimes on earth, Uyghur Resistance is a bold new book that speaks to readers passionate about politics, activism, solidarity, and Australia’s ties with China. This 256-page collection features 33 Uyghur voices, 12 essays, and 147 photographs from across the global diaspora – including stories of Uyghur people in exile in Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide. Amid mass internment, cultural erasure and a relentless campaign of state violence, Uyghur Resistance is a testament to the diverse and often unexpected ways in which a diaspora in exile practises resistance.
