Nick Holdstock, author of forthcoming book China’s Forgotten People, will offer his perspective on Xinjiang.
Holdstock will be in conversation with Ablimit Baki Elterish, who is originally from Xinjiang and teaches Chinese language at University of Manchester and conducts research on Xinjiang Studies including aspects of the Silk Road.
Chairing the event is Michael Dillon, who has written several critically acclaimed books on the region.
Complimenting the talk will be a display of British Library images on the Silk Road, thus giving face to a fascinating region.
