Allison Quatrini, Ph.D.<\/a>, had known for several years about the plight of the roughly 11 million Uyghur people of the Xinjiang region in northwest China. Pronounced \u02c8w\u0113-\u02ccgu\u0307rs, the Uyghurs are a minoritized group, predominantly Muslim, and are increasingly seen by the Chinese party-state as a threat.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]In March of 2015, Quatrini, an assistant professor of political science<\/a> at Eckerd College, traveled to the region to see for herself.<\/p>\n

She timed her visit to coincide with the Navruz Festival, a celebration that marks the vernal equinox and serves as the start of the new year for Uyghurs and other Turkic ethnic groups. \u201cOn this holiday, people traditionally tidy up their homes, buy new clothes, cook special meals,\u201d Quatrini explains. \u201cBut when I attended the holiday, I didn\u2019t see much of that. During the variety show itself, I saw portraits of Chairman Mao, a kung fu demonstration, and the yangge, a Chinese folk dance. Throughout my time there, I saw tanks rolling down the streets and military exercises in public parks. I saw police on many street corners, Uyghurs having their phones taken from them, and metal detectors in bazaars and shopping malls. I thought that this must be what martial law is like.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”9266″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”16″][vc_column_text]Allison Quatrini, Ph.D.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ bottom_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” el_class=”lg_text” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]\u201cVery little had to do with celebrating the first day of spring, which is what they were supposed to be doing.

And now, thanks to a short-term research publication grant from the American Association of University Women<\/a>, she\u2019ll be able to finish her work. One of the world\u2019s oldest leading supporters of graduate women\u2019s education, the AAUW has provided more than $135 million in fellowships, grants and awards to 13,000 women from 150 countries since its founding in 1881. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to support the work of these outstanding scholars and community leaders,\u201d says Gloria L. Blackwell, AAUW\u2019s chief executive officer.<\/p>\n

Quatrini\u2019s research focuses on ethnic politics and nationalism in China, with an emphasis on how minoritized groups, particularly the Uyghurs, navigate their relationship with the Chinese party-state. Beginning in 2017, up to 1.8 million Turkic Muslims, many of whom are Uyghur, have been interned in reeducation camps in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, Quatrini has reported. \u201cWhile imprisoned, they suffer bullying, brainwashing and beatings simply for practicing Islam, mild acts of dissent, and contact with Uyghurs living abroad.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition to tearing apart families with detentions, the total surveillance of Uyghur people by the Chinese government, forced suppression of their culture, and recent reports suggesting widespread sexual assault in the internment camps,\u201d Quatrini notes, \u201cresearcher Adrian Zenz has written a detailed analysis of measures to suppress the Uyghur birthrate.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ bottom_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” el_class=”lg_text” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]Quatrini says she incorporates her research into her classes. \u201cFor example, I have shown pictures from the festival, as well as other festivals I attended, to demonstrate the importance of symbolic politics.\u201d<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]Why does the party-state consider the Uyghurs a threat? \u201cI would say, on the whole, they\u2019re actually not a threat,\u201d Quatrini says. \u201cI see this as becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy for the Chinese party-state. This is a region in western China that\u2019s a conduit to the west \u2026 the crossroads of Asia. The party-state needs to keep this region a part of China and keep it stable. And I think some of the customs and traditions within Islam don\u2019t mesh very well with Chinese society, like covering your hair in public. This is seen as not very Chinese.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important to be aware of this because this has happened before and is actually happening now in Russia with children being taken from Ukrainian families and being placed with Russian families,\u201d she adds. \u201cAnother example is the Japanese internment camps in the U.S. during World War II.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ethnic minorities like the Uyghurs have advocates around the world, Quatrini says, including human rights groups in Washington, D.C., that lobby Congress. \u201cThis is fairly new. I\u2019ve seen increased activism in the last 10\u201315 years. There are groups that are working to help them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quatrini\u2019s published work has appeared in Nationalities Papers<\/em>, Qualitative and Multi-Methods Research<\/em>, The Diplomat<\/em>, Responsible Statecraft<\/em>, and the Tampa Bay Times<\/em>.
