维吾尔诗歌历史悠久，其传统源自突厥、伊斯兰和波斯文化。维吾尔诗歌一向只限于懂得维语的人阅读，也是它受限于在新疆本土传播而无法与世界接轨的原因。由于语言与传播的限制，不难想象维吾尔诗歌不曾被维吾尔群体以外的学者研究。近来，部分学者把维吾尔诗歌翻译成英语，而有些维吾尔诗人把诗歌翻译成中文。打破语言障碍是维吾尔诗歌迈向世界文学的关键。目前，新疆可说是处在戒严状态，世界各地也听闻了中国政府压制维吾尔族的残忍举动。放眼维吾尔历史，这种现象其实频频发生，是作为强大帝国边疆的地域自然会发生的现象。故此，本文将分析来自新疆内外维吾尔群体中的诗歌，从中更了解诗人如何看待新疆的现实生活，呈现出一个由不同个体组成的维吾尔群体。本文也试图呈现出维吾尔群体的多元性，打破“野蛮与暴力的维吾尔民族”和“脆弱无助的受压迫者”的维吾尔刻板形象。Uyghur poetry has a long-standing tradition stemming from Turkish, Islamic and Persian roots. Yet, it has always been restricted to those who knows the Uyghur language and thus it proliferation was constrained within its geographical location of Xinjiang. With such a limited access, it is no wonder that it has not been studied thoroughly by non-Uyghurs in the world. Recently, scholars have translated Uyghur modern poetry into English and some of the Uyghur poets translated their poetry into Mandarin. This is a significant step for Uyghur poetry to enter the realm of world literature. Currently, Xinjiang is allegedly a police-state and the world has seen many atrocities done by the state against the Uyghurs. This situation is not new, however, and it is rooted in Xinjiang’s history as a border of past empires. Hence, this paper aims to examine the different voices of Uyghurs without and within Xinjiang, to gain a better understanding of their perception of Xinjiang‘s realities. This paper also aims to present the Uyghurs as a collective people and shatter their monolithic stereotype, whether be it a violent ethnicity or vulnerable victims.
