I dont think that paper is useful at all. The geography of the region is completely different from the impression this guy tries to paint. The northern silk road corridor which is the areas of han inmigration isnt where the uyghurs typically live. these areas have always been multicultural. the tarim basin though, is concentrated by the uyghur, and there have been traces of attempts to keep them there as opposed to migrating to the rest of the region. growth of migrants to the new cities paints a different picture from this again. the fact that regional ethnic statistics have been readically altered is a non-factor because of the regional difference between the tarim basin on the one hand and the turpan and dzungar valley systems on the other
