Study On The Transnational Historical Process Of The Transnational Ethnic Groups In Xinjiang

Studies on the transnational ethnic groups have sprung up and developed gradu-ally in China for about two decades. There is no doubt that relevant researches are of great significance for ethnology, politics、international relationships and so on. As for the transnational ethnic groups in the northwest of China, it’s fundamental to do re-searches on their transnational history. Former scholars have done some researches on the process of transnational history, but most of them were scattered and the academic meaning they contain have yet to be found out. The thesis analyzed the transnational historical process of the main transnational ethnic groups which stride across the bor-der between Xinjiang and central Asian areas, including eight typical ones such as Kazak、Kirgiz、Uyghur、Hui、Tajik、Russian、Tatar、Uzbek. Through sorting and researching, the thesis comparatively analyzed the above minorities’ transnational his-tory respectively from the perspective of " from vassal state to ethnic group "、" from one country to being multinational"、"from immigrants to national minority". By virtue of Chinese and foreign literature, it mainly focused on the massive popula-tion’s transnational flow and the transnational-resided process of the related ethnic groups from middle Qing Dynasty to the early years of Republic of China. On the base, combining the theoretical fruit on frontiers from home and abroad,it also deeply explored the theoretical values contained in the transnational historical process of Xinjiang’s transnational ethnic groups and summarized the above analysis from the view of China’s northwestern frontier’s dynamic development.
