New Ghosts, Old Ghosts: Prisons and Labor Reform Camps in China - Prisons and Labor Reform Camps in China (Paperback,... New Ghosts, Old Ghosts: Prisons and Labor Reform Camps in China - Prisons and Labor Reform Camps in China (Paperback, illustrated edition)

R1,092 R994 Discovery Miles 9 940 Save R98 (9%) Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Much has been written about the laogai (sometimes likened to the Soviet gulag) in the People's Republic of China. Depending on the source, the prisons are described as nonexistent, enlightened institutions, or hellish places that subject the inmates to degradation and misery. The system is commonly thought of (by admirers and critics alike) as having a measurable impact on the national economy and providing significant resources to the state. Based on research in classified documents and extensive interviews with former prisoners, judicial personnel, and other insiders, and featuring case studies dealing with the three northwestern provinces, this book examines such assertions on the basis of the facts about this underexamined subject in order to arrive at a detailed, objective, and realistic picture of the situation. In the case of each province under study, the authors discuss the history of the provincial prison system and the impact that each has had at the macro, meso, and micro levels.

Tibet Through Dissident Chinese Eyes: Essays on Self-determination - Essays on Self-determination (Hardcover, New): James D.... Tibet Through Dissident Chinese Eyes: Essays on Self-determination - Essays on Self-determination (Hardcover, New)
James D. Seymour, Cao Changching
R5,331 Discovery Miles 53 310 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Although there have been numerous publications that argue the merit of Chinese rule over Tibet, and many more that argue for Tibetan self-determination, the world has not heard many Chinese voices supporting the latter view. This book exposes the reader to just that perspective from no less famous writers and activists than Wei Jingsheng, Yan Jiaqi, Shen Tong, Wang Ruowang, and others -- many now perforce in exile or imprisoned -- whose views on Tibet were heretofore little known. Though theirs is the view of a small minority of Chinese, history may still record the publication of these essays as the first movement of a significant turning point in the history of this issue.
