This book, the most comprehensive study of China's prison camps to date, draws from a wide range of primary sources, including many compelling literary documents, to illuminate life inside China's prison camps. Focusing mainly on the second half of the twentieth century, Philip F. Williams and Yenna Wu outline the evolution of the laogai system, construct a vivid picture of prisoners' lives from arrest and interrogation to release, and provide a troubling new perspective on the human rights issues plaguing China.Internment campsChinaForced laborChinaPolitical prisonersChinaElectronic books.Internment campsForced laborPolitical prisoners365/.45/0951Williams Philip F945137Wu Yenna645043MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455313203321The great wall of confinement2485126UNINA
