AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This document reads like a detailed travel guide of Xinjiang, with information on the region's geography, wildlife, history, and archaeological remains, as well as its national minorities, including their customs, handicrafts, dress, religion, games, food, and dance. It is revealing of Beijing's apolitical framing of China's minorities.
