How a journal censored by review of Xinjiang (5)
May I chime in as an Uyghur scholar?
I don't think to hold a person accountable for restricting academic freedom is attacking. We should hold Brill accountable for their lack of communication and oversight but the person who is responsible for censoring the content is at fault from the beginning. Maybe it is my personal experience and feelings as an Uyghur are clouding my judgment, but at least my view comes from a desire for academic freedom, which I never had before coming to the US. If calling out Han Xiaorong for not respecting academic freedom is "attacking" him, well, count me in! I'm "attacking" Han Xiaorong for attempting to censor Dr. Grose's review. It also is irresponsible of us if we solely put the blame on Brill, and would only perpetuate this kind of abhorrent behavior further.
