Published earlier in 2018 by Palgrave Macmillan US, “The Uyghur Community: Diaspora, Identity and Geopolitics”, edited by Güljanat Kurmangaliyeva Ercilasun and Konuralp  Ercilasun, offers key insights into the Uyghur community, notably in regards to identity, religion and diaspora.
From the Palgrave Macmillan US website:
This book analyses the Uyghur community, presenting a brief historical background of the Uyghurs and debating the challenges of emerging Uyghur nationalism in the early 20th century. It elaborates on key issues within the community, such as the identity and current state of religion and worship. It also offers a thoughtful and comprehensive analysis of the Uyghur diaspora, addressing the issue of identity politics, the position of the Uyghurs in Central Asia, and the relations of the Uyghurs with Beijing, notably analyzing the 2009 Urumqi clashes and their long term impact on Turkish-Chinese relations. Re-examining Urghur identity through the lens of history, religion and politics, this is a key read for all scholars interested in China, Eurasia and questions of ethnicity and religion.
