Awidespread stereotype in China holds that migrant workers from the coun- ,try's northwestern Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region are people who work in coastal cities as street vendors of kebabs or nuts. However, photographer Kurbanjan Samafs new book, I Am From Xinjiang, proves that people from the region are hardly limited to these typecast roles. Xinjiang natives work as doctors, reporters, teachers, company employees and more all across the country.
