How China used a network of surveillance to intern over a million people and produce a system of control previously unknown in human history
Novel forms of state violence and colonization have been unfolding for years in China’s vast northwestern region, where more than a million and a half Uyghurs and others 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 and Chinese surveillance systems, uncovers how a vast network of technology provided by private companies―facial surveillance, voice recognition, smartphone data―enabled the state and corporations to blacklist millions of Uyghurs because of their religious and cultural practice starting in 2017. Charged with “pre-crimes” that sometimes consist only of installing social media apps, detainees were put in camps to “study”―forced to praise the Chinese government, renounce Islam, disavow families, and labor in factories. Byler travels back to Xinjiang to reveal how the convenience of smartphones have doomed the Uyghurs to catastrophe, and makes the case that the technology is being used all over the world, sold by tech companies from Beijing to Seattle producing new forms of unfreedom for vulnerable people around the world.

Review
“In the Camps is short, highly readable, and will appeal to anyone interested in violence and social justice.” —Los Angeles Review of Books
“[An] intimate, sombre and damning account.” —Financial Times
“The voices of detainees filter through the pages of Darren Byler’s new book.” —The Economist
“Darren Byler has unwound this truly bone-chilling story about the methods the Chinese state is using to construct essentially a city that is a prison.... This is a really important work.” —MSNBC’s Chris Hayes
“Enriched by the author’s dogged reporting and deep empathy for the victims, this is an authoritative account of a real-life dystopia.” —Publishers Weekly
“A chilling indictment of the direction of global capitalism and its failure to respond to the ethical wasteland promoted by the Chinese state.” —Mekong Review
“[Byler] offers more chilling evidence of the ‘smart’ camps in northwestern China, designed to restrict, punish, and ultimately exterminate the Indigenous population.... A book full of harrowing revelations of systematic injustice in China and the disturbing involvement of its foreign enablers.” —Kirkus Reviews
“While structural racism in the context of Chinese settler colonialism in Xinjiang evokes similar racisms in different parts of the world, Byler documents and analyzes how the new, digitized racialization of China’s Muslim minorities—an ‘automated racialization’ in a vast system of internment camps—has taken the meaning of dehumanization to a completely different level. Stark and devastating, and yet filled with empathetic detail for the victims, this book is required reading for anyone interested in racial justice across the world. Byler’s book shows us that this is not just China’s reality, but a global reality where the violence of one colonial regime cannot be disaggregated from global complicity.” —Shu-mei Shih, President, American Comparative Literature Association, and Edward W. Said Professor of Comparative Literature, UCLA
“While the central contributions of the book are the interviews with Uyghurs impacted by Xinjiang’s security state, Byler carefully underlines the foundational role Silicon Valley companies—particularly Microsoft—played in its construction.” —Jack Poulson, Executive Director, Tech Inquiry
“In the Camps offers an urgent and deeply humane intervention in a discourse often clouded with nationalism and Sinophobia. While presenting an unflinching picture of the Islamophobic human rights abuses perpetrated against Muslim populations in Xinjiang by the Chinese state, Byler highlights the ways in which these practices draw from familiar settler colonial logics, which work to construct racialized ‘others’ against whom exploitation and harm is made permissible.” —Meredith Whittaker, Minderoo Research Professor at NYU and Faculty Director of the AI Now Institute
“It's true, no matter how much the Chinese government denies it—in this richly sourced book, Darren Byler describes not only how members of Muslim ethnic groups in China are thrown into re-education camps just for practicing their religion, but also how those outside the camps are deprived of their freedom by a web of electronic and human surveillance. Built around true personal stories, the book is a riveting—and terrifying—account of one of the worst human rights abuses being perpetrated in the world today. —Andrew J. Nathan, Class of 1919 Professor of Political Science, Columbia University
“Byler’s concise book is a vital read because it foregrounds the experiences of people detained in the camps, stories that overlap and cohere into a raw portrait of systematic brutality and dehumanising routines.” —Nick Holdstock, author of China’s Forgotten People: Xinjiang, Terror and the Chinese State
“Is it fair that the pairing of ‘Chinese government’ and ‘surveillance’ has become contemporary shorthand for the atrocity of technologically tainted dehumanizing authoritarianism? Darren Byler’s brave and meticulously researched book, In the Camps, presents such a chilling account, even historically informed, cynical readers will be shocked by the scale, intensity, and soul-crushing brutality of the systems of control that he portrays, in painstaking detail, as normalized in Xinjiang while forgotten about by the rest of the world.” —Evan Selinger, professor of philosophy, Rochester Institute of Technology

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent story telling and solid researchReviewed in the United States on November 2, 2021
Verified Purchase
Byler weaves together gripping stories of eye-witness survivors of the internment camps in China with theoretical insights from colonial studies and racial theory. This book is short and to the point, Byler wastes no time in telling you his arguments and insights: that technology companies are part of system of dehumanization and racialization that allows for mass surveillance and internment in the name of "security" to continue in China, as well as the United States. He shows that the camps are supported by a network of people both forced and willing to participate in the money-making and power-building profits of exploiting and criminalizing minorities.
This book is highly recommended. I couldn't put it down. It was horrifying and traumatizing but also beautiful and deeply needed. I cried reading, but also feel empowered now having the knowledge inside it.

Verified Purchase
In this eye opening book, Byler draws on a wealth of first-hand accounts and research to tell the stories of ethnic minorities in China that have been targeted by a massive control and "re-education" campaign enabled by the use of advanced surveillance technology. While the subject matter is dark and heavy, this book is a much needed call for us to see and acknowledge the plight of the humans whose personhood has been obliterated by systematized racism.

An important topic and short read that is, unfortunately, overshadowed by the author's poorly thought out presumptions and conclusions as to the causes of this tragedy.
Instead, I would suggest the book: How I Survived a Chinese "Reeducation" Camp, by Gulbahar Haitiwaji.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eyewitness Accounts Reveal the Truth of Chinese Concentration CampsReviewed in the United States on October 12, 2021
One cannot truly envision the horrors of a Chinese camp without visiting or seeing one through the eyes of another person. This book accomplishes the latter.
This book details what goes on in the Chinese camps (termed centralized controlled education training centers) where more than a million people (primarily Uyghers and Kazakhs) have been sent away for “reeducation,” many of them arrested for things they never committed but guilty under a shadowy net of “pre-crimes.” Author Darren Byler informs readers of these camps and their inhabitants through the eyes of people who have been residents of one of these camps. They all have a trial (of sorts) and you can imagine their chances when Chinese courts have a 99+ per cent conviction rate.
There are many scary aspects included, one of the worst being the use of facial recognition technologies. Coupled with information about behaviors that are considered to be illegal (or potentially illegal in the future), the entire situation seems like the movie “Minority Report” come to life. Once people are arrested, they are physically and mentally tortured and may eventually find themselves in a camp where they are nothing more than slave labor.
Anthropologists Nancy Scheper-Hughes and Philip Bourgois offer a telling description: “Violence can never be understood solely in terms of its physicality – force, assault, or the infliction of pain – alone. The social and cultural dimensions of violence are what gives violence its power and meaning.” This book will flesh out exactly what that description can mean. Five stars.
My thanks to NetGalley and Columbia Global Reports for a complimentary electronic copy of this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars This was a haunting passage to meReviewed in the United States on July 24, 2022
Armed with the knowledge that her behavior was being watched by the "smart" cameras of the camp, Qelbinur crossed a threshold that would change her life. "I took my books and water bottle, stared at the iron door, and saw something that I will never forget for the rest of my life. The door was opened and the detainees started coming out wearing handcuffs. They had to duck under a chain that held the door partially closed. They walked to the classroom. When I saw them, I could not help but to have tears in my eyes." While the "students" sat on the plastic stools, Qelbinur was given a table, chair, and blackboard to use.
"When I saw their faces, I felt crushed," Qelbinur told me. "I prayed to Allah to keep me from crying in front of them. I came to the table in the front without knowing what to do and what to say. Among the people sitting in front of me were elderly men with beards. They looked respectable, just like the kind of elderly people you might see in the mosque." As a Turkic Muslim who had been taught her whole life to respect her elders, Qelbinur was confronted with a choice: put on the mask of the Chinese-speaking reeducation system, which showed "absolutely no mercy," or reveal her truer self as someone who was taught to treat others with dignity and respect and risk being labeled "two faced" – the threat that hung over all Muslims since their loyalty to the state was always in question.
"Without thinking, I said, 'Assalamu alaykum,'" a common Arabic-origin greeting meaning: "Peace be upon you." When she said this, the students froze. "They looked terrified. I realized I had said something wrong. I introduced myself and started the class. I just stared at the blackboard, and didn't turn back to look at their faces. I couldn't turn around because some detainees were sobbing. Some of the old men's beards were wet from crying. I tried to compose myself. I didn't look back at all during the class. I just kept writing and erasing the characters on the blackboard. I finished four different classes, but I felt like it took four years."
