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

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

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.

Darren Byler is Assistant Professor of International Studies at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, British Columbia. He writes a regular column for SupChina and his work has appeared in The Guardian, Foreign Policy, Prospect Magazine,as well as many academic journals. He received his PhD in anthropology at the University of Washington.
