The first
memoir about the re-education camps by a Uyghur woman.
Gulbahar Haitiwaji was an executive in the Chinese oil industry before leaving
for France in 2006 with her husband and children, who obtained the status of
political refugees. In 2017 she was summoned in China for an administrative
issue. Once there, she was arrested and spent more than three years in a secret
network of jails. Thanks to the efforts of her family and the French foreign
ministry she was freed and was able to return to France where she currently
resides.
Now, she is the first female Uyghur survivor to give a connected and revealing
account of life inside China’s brainwashing ‘re-education’ camps. Her
account reads like a modern version of 1984. It tells the story of a woman
confronted by an all-powerful state bent on crushing her spirit - and her
struggle for freedom and dignity. This rare portrait of China’s gulag is
visceral and internationally important.
