A shocking insight into what is really happening to China's Uyghurs

In the Camps Zusammenfassung

In the Camps: Life in China's High-Tech Penal Colony Darren Byler

A revelatory account of what is really happening to China's Uyghurs

'Intimate, sombre, and damning... compelling.' Financial Times
'Chilling... Horrifying.' Spectator

In 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.

In the Camps Bewertungen

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 *
Inside China, a monstrous crime is being committed. This book tells the dark story of how the Uyghur people are being smudged out. Read it. * John Sweeney, investigative journalist and bestselling novelist *
This important book takes us directly into the dystopian world of Uyghur dispossession, infrastructural power, and terror capitalism. Byler shines a piercing light into the darkness of Xinjiang's Surveillance State. * Lord Alton of Liverpool, Independent Crossbench Member of the House of Lords *

A heart-breaking, brilliant and thought-provoking read. We all need to educate ourselves on how great injustices are being perpetrated against the innocent because of their religion and culture.

* Gulwali Passarlay, author of The Lightless Sky *
Chilling... To be ethnically Uighur, or even notionally Muslim [in China], is to live in a state of permanent suspicion and fear... horrifying. * Spectator *
