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. 606 $aInternment camps$zChina 606 $aForced labor$zChina 606 $aPolitical prisoners$zChina 610 $a20th century. 610 $aanthropologists. 610 $aasia scholars. 610 $achina. 610 $achinese history. 610 $achinese law. 610 $achinese prison camp. 610 $achinese society. 610 $aconfinement. 610 $acontemporary fiction. 610 $acultural anthropology. 610 $acultural historians. 610 $adiscussion books. 610 $ahistorical. 610 $ahuman rights issues. 610 $ahuman rights. 610 $alaogai system. 610 $alaw enforcement. 610 $aliterary documents. 610 $amodern reports. 610 $anonfiction study. 610 $aprimary sources. 610 $aprison camp network. 610 $aprison life. 610 $aprison stories. 610 $aprisoners. 610 $asocial impact. 610 $aworld powers. 615 0$aInternment camps 615 0$aForced labor 615 0$aPolitical prisoners 676 $a365/.45/0951 700 $aWilliams$b Philip F$0945137 701 $aWu$b Yenna$0645043 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778469203321 996 $aThe great wall of confinement$93804176 997 $aUNINA
