Description

The American Center for Mongolian Studies (ACMS) in cooperation with the Center for East Asian Studies (CEAS) at University of Wisconsin-Madison organized two lectures in spring 2011 on the topic “Muslim Minorities in Inner Asia.” The Uighurs of western China offer unique perspectives on Islam as this group adapts their religious beliefs to cultural and political environments dominated by non-Islamic majorities. The lectures are intended to introduce these perspectives to the general public.

This collection includes edited videos of the two lectures which are made available for free for non-commercial, educational use. The lectures were made possible with a grant from the Council of American Overseas Research Centers (CAORC) and the Carnegie Corporation of New York.
