A devastating account of China's genocide of the Uyghurs, by a leading Uyghur activist. Nury Turkel was born in a 're-education' camp in China during the Cultural Revolution. He spent the first months of his life in captivity with his mother, who was beaten and starved while pregnant, while his father served a penal sentence in an agricultural labour camp. Later, he was able to travel to the US for his undergraduate studies in 1995 and was granted asylum in 1998. As a lawyer, he is now a dedicated activist for his people's plight. The book is part memoir, part call-to-action, and provides an inside perspective on the Chinese government's oppression of the Uyghur people, including labour camps, ethnic and religious repression, forced sterilisation, and pervasive surveillance in Xinjiang.
