> "The terminology of 'Xinjiang' (New Territory, New Region, or New
> Dominion) reflects the Qing expansion and imperialism in 18th century
> Central Asia, while 'East Turkistan Republic' (or East Turkistan
> Islamic Republic) attempts to cover the nature of various Uyghur
> nationalistic movements in the early 20th century against the
> Manchu-Chinese Empire. These highly politicized geographic
> terminologies reveal the dynamics and developments of the region in
> politics, ethnicity, and societies and in many ways highlight
> different ways of thinking about Xinjiang history and its future
> destiny. It is only for the purpose of convenience and consistency
> that this website/E-journal deploys the popular term 'Xinjiang'
> referring to this highly contested region of Central Asia. To use
> 'Xinjiang' also implies that the chronology spans from the Qing
> dynasty, when the region became the Qing's new dominion, to the
> present, in which disputes and conflicts over the legitimate status
> of the region between China and local Uyghurs still remain.

> Self-description:
> "Forum Description: Xinjiang has again become the pivot of China,
> Central Asia, and even the world in this century in terms of
> political significance and security arrangements in Central Asia.
> Scholars and observers from surrounding countries and beyond have
> begun to invest unprecedented efforts to illuminate the nature of
> historical and contemporary events there. However, due to various
> historical, linguistic, political, and academic traditions and
> taboos, studies on Xinjiang are highly fragmented and biased among
> ethnic and national lines. [...] Xinjiang Review is founded exactly
> in such context as a platform for concerned Xinjiang scholars of
> various disciplines, regions, and nationalities. It especially
> welcomes Uyghur and Han scholars from Xinjiang and China proper to
> contribute insights and exchange perspectives."
