Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. viii, 328 pages. Illustrations. Endpaper maps. Index. Red dot on top edge. The author is one of the most prominent expatriate Chinese dissidents, whose Laogai Research Foundation publicizes abuses in the Chinese penal system. Harry Wu (February 8, 1937 April 26, 2016) was a Chinese-American human rights activist. He became a resident and citizen of the United States. In 1992, he founded the Laogai Research Foundation. Harry Wu was imprisoned for 19 years in 12 different camps mining coal, building roads, clearing land, and planting and harvesting crops. He was beaten, tortured and nearly starved to death, and witnessed the deaths of other prisoners from brutality, starvation, and suicide. During his first years in America, Wu did not want to discuss politics. He was drawn back into the discussion about prison camps in China and his own experiences. In 1986, Wu was asked discuss his experiences to a class at the University of California. Derived from a Kirkus review: World-famous dissident Wu gives a powerful expose of China's use of slave labor to produce export goods, as he describes his undercover visits to his homeland, including his detention last summer and its impact on Hillary Clinton's attendance at the United Nations Women's Conference in Beijing. In 1992, Wu, living in the United States, established the Laogai Research Foundation in order to expose China's sale of forced labor products on the international market. (Laogai is the Chinese gulag, where Wu himself spent 19 years in forced labor camps.) In this book his focus is on his highly dangerous trips back to China since 1991. He visited his old prison, Beijing No. 1 Laogai Camp, which is now known as a shrimp farm but is otherwise unchanged, and he and his wife, Ching Lee, managed to film the notorious Wangzhuang Coal Mine, where Wu had undergone `reform through labor' and nearly lost his life. Wu pretended to be an American businessman and obtained admissions that products were made by prisoners. On another visit, he entered a hospital and was told how expensive transplant operations for foreigners made use of organs taken from prisoners afterand even beforeexecution. The final part of Wu's narrative details his arrest and trial last year. Due to pressure from Congress and his American citizenship, he was relatively well treated and released after two months. He argues that dropping China's most favored nation status is the only way to change conditions inside the country; meanwhile, we are fooling ourselves by equating capitalism in China with democracy. Wu's moving and heroic story is essential reading for anyone concerned with the human rights struggle and its implications for public policy. First Edition [stated] Presumed First Printing based on Random House printing convention. Guenter Vollath (illustrator). …

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. viii, 328 pages. Acid-free paper. Illustrations. Endpaper maps. Index. The author is one of the most prominent expatriate Chinese dissidents, whose Laogai Research Foundation publicizes abuses in the Chinese penal system. Harry Wu (February 8, 1937 April 26, 2016) was a Chinese-American human rights activist. Wu spent 19 years in Chinese labor camps, and he became a resident and citizen of the United States. In 1992, he founded the Laogai Research Foundation. Harry Wu was imprisoned for 19 years in 12 different camps mining coal, building roads, clearing land, and planting and harvesting crops. According to his own accounts, he was beaten, tortured and nearly starved to death, and witnessed the deaths of many other prisoners from brutality, starvation, and suicide. During his first years in America, Wu did not want to think about or discuss politics. He felt that he had already lost the years of his youth and he wanted to establish a personal life and enjoy his freedom. But slowly he was drawn back into the discussion about prison camps in China and his own experiences. In 1986, Wu was asked to talk about his experiences in the camps to a class of college students at the University of California. As Wu spoke he felt he was being the voice for the seemingly forgotten prisoners who had died. In 1988 Wu met the curator of the East Asian Studies department at the Hoover Institution at Stanford to explain his interest in studying China's network of forced-labor prison camps. his stories about his time in the camps intrigued the curator, who invited Wu to pursue research as a visiting scholar. Derived from a Kirkus review: World-famous dissident Wu gives a powerful expose of China's use of slave labor to produce export goods, as he describes his undercover visits to his homeland, including his detention last summer and its impact on Hillary Clinton's attendance at the United Nations Women's Conference in Beijing.
