<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Since 2017, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has instituted a series of brutally repressive policies in its far-western Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region - also known as East Turkistan. These sweeping policies of cultural genocide have targeted the region's Turkic ethnic groups, largely Muslim, the most prominent of which are the Uyghurs. The CCP has forcibly and systematically sterilized Uyghur women, constructed the most far-reaching and invasive surveillance state in human history, and sent upwards of one million Uyghurs and other Turkic peoples to be "re-educated" in concentration camps - characterized by one expert as "the largest incarceration of an ethno-religious minority since the Holocaust." In Middle Country, Grayson Slover recounts the personal story of his weeklong journey through East Turkistan during the summer of 2019. As he vividly describes his own experiences in East Turkistan, and the observations he made while he was there, Grayson weaves in historical context and political analysis to create a book that is both an engaging adventure story and an informative look at the contemporary situation in East Turkistan"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Since 2017, the Chinese Communist Party has been committing a genocide in its far-western Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, traditionally known as East Turkistan. It has imprisoned more than one million of the region's Turkic ethnic minorities in what it calls "re-education camps," an act that has been characterized as "the largest incarceration of an ethno-religious minority since the Holocaust." It is taking the children of parents undergoing "re-education" and placing them in state-operated "boarding schools," where they are "re-educated" in many of the same ways. It is forcibly and systematically sterilizing Turkic women, dramatically cutting birth rates. And it has transformed the entirety of Xinjiang into what has been aptly called an "open-air prison," where Turkic people are constantly monitored by surveillance cameras and police patrols.</p><p><br></p><p>In <em>Middle Country, </em> Grayson Slover recounts the week he spent as a "student tourist" in Xinjiang, in the summer of 2019. He describes in vivid, personal detail the pervasive surveillance state that exists in Xinjiang today, his interactions with the local people, and his close encounters with the Xinjiang police. Slover weaves in relevant history and political analysis for readers to grasp how his first-hand experiences fit within the broader context of the CCP's genocidal campaign.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
