Made in China - Amelia Pang, SPE Book Counter

Julia Keith is unwrapping a set of decorations she bought for $5 at Kmart - a bargain - when a letter falls out of the package: "This product is manufactured by Unit 8, Department 2, Mashanjia Work Camp, Shuyang, Liaoning, China." The person who threw the bottle into the sea? Sun Yi, an engineer detained in Mashanjia, one of the thousands of laogai - forced labour re-education camps - that still dot China and where some 3 million Uighurs are imprisoned. His appeal for help is the starting point for a dizzying investigation into the concentration camp hell of the world's second largest economy.

Like the 19th-century abolitionists who fought slavery by exposing the facts, Amelia Pang clearly demonstrates the human cost of our consumer frenzy.
