Darren Byler theorizes the contemporary Chinese coloniza�on of the Uyghur Muslim minority group in the northwest autonomous region of Xinjiang, showing how it has led to what he calls terror capitalism—a configura�on of ethno-racializa�on, surveillance, and mass deten�on that in this case promotes se�ler colonialism.
Sichuan is home to many cave temples with monumental sculptures, the result of local inhabitants’ centuries-long tradi�on of crea�vely using their natural resources. This far-ranging study shows that the temples’ con�nued presence is a reminder of the urgency to preserve culture as part of today’s response to climate change.

The Filipino Migra�on Experience introduces a new dimension to the usual depic�on of migrants as disenfranchised workers or marginal ethnic groups. Mina Roces suggests alterna�ve ways of conceptualizing Filipino migrants as cri�cs of the family and cultural construc�ons of sexuality, as consumers and investors, as philanthropists, as ac�vists, and, as historians.

In Touring China, Yajun Mo explores how early twen�eth century Chinese sightseers described the des�na�ons that they visited, and how their travel accounts gave Chinese readers a means to imagine their vast country. 9

From 1956 to 1962, devasta�ng military conflicts took place in China’s southwestern and northwestern regions. The CCP referred to the campaign as “suppressing the Tibetan rebellion” and official record at the �me scarcely men�oned it. Now Jianglin Li shares the untold story.
Thy Phu explores photographs produced by dispersed communi�es throughout Vietnam and the Vietnamese diaspora, both during and a�er the Vietnam War, to complicate prominent narra�ves of conflict and memory and to expand understandings of how war is waged, experienced, and resolved. 10
