Your reviewer had to dodge blockades and angry crowds of Han Chinese protesters to reach the neighbourhood in the south of the city where the Turkic-speaking Muslim Uighurs live. There he found the modest, dilapidated building that is still named for Rebiya Kadeer. Given all the scorn that has been heaped on the exiled Uighur activist in recent years—she has been branded a conspirator and a terrorist—it is amazing that the Chinese government has yet to find another name for the building. As she recounts in her memoir “Dragon Fighter”, Ms Kadeer, now aged 62, was at the height of her wealth and influence in 1992 when she threw open the doors of her new seven-storey trade centre and offered cut-rate stall rentals to 1,000 local merchants. Her own ethnic group knew her as the “Mother of all Uighurs”. She was celebrated as the most astute and successful businesswoman in the nation, and was accorded high political office by China’s Communist Party rulers who distrusted her but hoped to co-opt her.
