OverviewIn China's vast northwestern region, more than a million and a half Muslims have vanished into internment camps and associated factories. Based on hours of interviews with camp survivors and workers, thousands of government documents, and over a decade of research, Darren Byler, one of the leading experts on Uyghur society uncovers their plight. Revealing a sprawling network of surveillance technology supplied by firms in both China and the West, Byler shows how the country has created an unprecedented system of Orwellian control. A definitive account of one of the world's gravest human rights violations, In the Camps is also a potent warning against the misuse of technology and big data. 'Intimate, sombre and damning...These varied personal accounts tell of pervasive confusion and fear as, starting in 2017, a previously small-scale ""re-education"" programme suddenly became a sprawling system of internment camps where anyone suspected of ""extremist thoughts"" or ""pre-crimes"" was sent without trial.' - Financial Times 'Harrowing and intensely human. A devastating account of the incarceration of almost an entire population by the all-knowing Chinese state, aided by sophisticated technology, much of it devised in the West.' - John Kampfner, bestselling author of Why the Germans Do It Better Full Product DetailsAuthor: Darren BylerPublisher: Atlantic Books Imprint: Atlantic Books Edition: Main Dimensions: Width: 13.50cm , Height: 1.10cm , Length: 21.60cm Weight: 0.209kg ISBN: 9781838955922ISBN 10: 1838955925 Pages: 160 Publication Date: 03 February 2022 Audience: College/higher education , Professional and scholarly , General/trade , Tertiary & Higher Education , Professional & Vocational Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In stock  We have confirmation that this item is in stock with the supplier.
