The voices of detainees filter through the pages of Darren Byler’s new book, “In the Camps: China’s High-Tech Penal Colony”
Columbia Global Reports; 159 pages; $15.99. To be published in Britain in February by Atlantic Books; £12.99Hurst; 536 pages; £16.99. To be published in America in December by Columbia University Press; $351870s and 1940s foreigners published a glut of accounts of Xinjiang, the vast territory that is at the centre of Eurasia but perennially on the fringes of China.
Mr Byler’s book is more typical of the recent flood of material which documents life inside the camps. Seeking to emulate the work of the Italian writer and Holocaust survivor Primo Levi, he narrows in on the mundane details of internment which, taken together, dehumanise the detainees. The inmates’ heads are shaved. The women are forced to take the contraceptive pill because the “school” cannot provide enough sanitary towels.
Unfortunately Mr Millward has not revised his entire book. This grates, particularly when outdated projections or examples remain. But it is useful to see how the author has changed his tone.
