Terror Capitalism
Uyghur Dispossession and Masculinity in a Chinese City
Book •
Terror Capitalism: Uyghur Dispossession and Masculinity in a Chinese City examines the political economy of state-led development in Xinjiang, China, focusing on the ways violence shapes space and gender among the Uyghur Muslim population.
Darren Byler describes how Chinese authorities use security technologies and infrastructure projects to transform the city of Ürümchi into a grid of control, turning public space into a site of constant surveillance.
He illustrates how Uyghur men, dispossessed and displaced by these developments, are criminalized as potential terrorists, while Uyghur women are pressured to work in factories far from their homes.
