This book—the author’s debut non-fiction book—captures Demetre’s precarious, but illuminating junket alongside Uyghur ethnic minority Chinese Communist Party/People’s Liberation Army members into the complex, obfuscated culture of the riot-scarred capital of Xinjiang, China’s far Northwestern province. The book also delves into the author’s contradictory transcultural relationship with his guide, Rihangül, a liberated Uyghur woman who tries to reconcile disparate worlds.
