Estado e religião na Província Autônoma de Xinjiang: uma racionalização legal da China no exercício da dominação

Abstract

Tensions in the 21st Century, amid the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the “framing” of religious activities as terrorism, have generated conflicting facts in the Xinjiang Uigur Autonomous Region (XUAR), locality with a significant population of Islamic religion. The research is of an exploratory view, seeking to understand how the Chinese normative structure is rationalized in face of the autonomous Province, composed of a significant “ethnic minority”. The present work aimed to investigate the relationship among the Chinese’s national power and Xinjiang, as well as the impacts of this relationship of “religious rights”. It begins with the historical background of the region's socio-cultural formation, within a sociocentric view (State procedures towards minorities), focousing on the rationalization of Chinese’s law in its contemporaneity.
