Abstract
Abstract Aristotle came up with the idea of the “politeia”. He is also known for saying that the purpose of a state is to form a society where human beings are equal. Today, cultural pluralism answers to the need for the various cultural components of the society to articulate themselves. Xinjiang has been focusing on China Communist Party’s (CCP) aggressive response to Uyghur’s cultural expression. After 2001, this hardline and oppressive strategy has been strengthened in the Xinjiang province, and as a result, the cultural rights of Uyghurs have been restricted. The rights to the Uyghur culture have been limited to eradicate their cultural plurality. This article analyzes the impact of the CCP’s anti-pluralist strategies on the sense of alienation among the Uyghurs. This article concludes that if the cultural crackdown of the Uyghurs continues, it may lead to further alienations among the Uyghurs minority.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs is a peer reviewed research journal produced by the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs (IMMA) as part of its publication programme. Published since 1979, the journalhas firmly established itself as a highly respected and widely acclaimed academic and scholarly publication providing accurate, reliable and objective information. Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs provides a forum for frank but responsible discussion of issues relating to the life of Muslims in non-Muslim societies. The journalhas become increasingly influential as the subject of Muslim minorities has acquired added significance. About 500 million Muslims, fully one third of the world Muslim population of 1.5 billion, live as minorities in 149 countries around the globe. Even as minorities they form significant communities within their countries of residence. What kind of life do they live? What are their social, political and economic problems? How do they perceive their strengths and weakness? What above all, is their future in Islam and in the communities of their residence? The journal explores these and similar questions from the Muslim and international point of view in a serious and responsible manner.
