Situated in Central Asia, Xinjiang is an autonomous region of the People’s Republic of China traditionally inhabited primarily by Uyghurs, in addition to significant populations of Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Mongolian and other minorities. Patrick Wack traversed this massive territory, three times the size of France, with camera in hand to gain a sense of its history, people, and current state of unrest due to China’s crackdown on its Muslim population. Islamophobia in China has flared in recent years due to reports of radicalised Uyghur volunteers fighting for ISIS in Syria and elsewhere. Wack counters this with a riveting account of his experiences in a place where the dust is omnipresent.
