      31 31 There are very many examples. Here are just four. Once his work on discrimination in Eritrea became politically impossible, Mohammed was forced into exile. See Abdulkader Saleh Mohammed, The Saho of Eritrea. In 2017, Rahile Dawut, an expert in Uighur customs and identity at Xinjiang University, disappeared and is ‘suspected of being held by state authorities at an undisclosed location’. See Scholars at Risk Network, ‘Rahile Dawut’. Note, also, the telling authorship of Anonymous, ‘You Shall Sing and Dance’, a paper about Uighur heritage published in Asian Ethnicity. The author information records that ‘The author has been kept anonymous out of concern for his/her personal safety.’ In 2019 Füsun Üstel, a Turkish expert in nationalism and minority rights, was given a fifteen-month jail term for signing a petition calling on the Turkish government to halt military operations in predominantly Kurdish areas. See TurkeyPurge, ‘Turkish Academic Enters Prison’.

      44 44 This is a problem even in the most internationally oriented journal in the field, Ethnic and Racial Studies. Of the thirty-two issues published in 2019 and 2020 only one had papers or book reviews that mentioned any of these momentous events (I.S. is mentioned in papers in the 2019 Special Issue on ‘Diaspora Mobilizations for Transitional Justice’).

      71 71 Except for those cases where governments have fully acknowledged past events, such as in Germany in respect of the Holocaust, the number of victims is hotly contested. In this book I cite what I take to be reasonable estimates, derived from multiple reputable sources, but it is beyond my scope to discuss how these numbers have been derived or to verify them.
