For decades, China's Xinjiang region has been the site of clashes between long-residing Uyghur and Han settlers. Up until now, much scholarly attention has been paid to state actions and the Uyghur's efforts to resist cultural and economic repression. This has left the other half of the puzzle - the motivations and ambitions of Han settlers themselves - sorely understudied. With 'Oil and Water', anthropologist Tom Cliff offers the first ethnographic study of Han in Xinjiang, using in-depth vignettes and oral histories to explore how and why they became the people they are now.
