At first glance, this kind of cultural performance would appear completely apolitical. However, at the same time a full-page editorial appeared in the city's biggest newspaper criticizing the Eskilstuna Cultural Bureau for allowing the event. The article accused city bureaucrats of fawning on the autocratic Chinese authorities. Obviously, the editorial viewed the performance as political. zarapshan@gmail.com (UAA Administrator) Mon, 01 Oct 2007 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.uyghuramerican.org//articles/1102/1/Travel-picks-Tracing-the-Silk-Road-through-China/index.html Once one of the world's main commercial arteries, the Silk Road still holds an immense attraction for the thousand of travellers who now chart its course in search for adventure rather than trade. zarapshan@gmail.com (UAA Administrator) Fri, 14 Sep 2007 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.uyghuramerican.org//articles/749/1/Qurban-Heyt.html zarapshan@gmail.com (UAA Administrator) Thu, 04 Jan 2007 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.uyghuramerican.org//articles/687/1/Follow-the-Yellow-Silk-Road---Savory-Uyghur-cuisine-comes-of-age-in-Rego-Park/food.html It\'s been nearly a decade since Silk Road cooking first appeared in Queens, at places like Registan—whose name hilariously recast Rego Park as a Central Asian republic—and Uzbekistan Tandoori Bread. zarapshan@gmail.com (UAA Administrator) Thu, 30 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.uyghuramerican.org//articles/601/1/Uighur-Cuisine/Uighur-Cuisine.html Nestled in Chinatown, a little piece of Central Asia has exotic charm and a real love of lamb. zarapshan@gmail.com (UAA Administrator) Fri, 13 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.uyghuramerican.org//articles/394/1/CHEAP-EATS---Cafe-Kashkar/CHEAP-EATS---Cafe-Kashkar.html This Uyghur restaurant is a small room with an open kitchen in the rear that has a wall-mounted TV showing Central Asian pop stars in Hawaiian shirts breaking down beats with the requisite half-naked dancing girls.
