"For years, the Chinese government had persecuted the Uyghur people, a predominantly Muslim minority group in western China. In 2017, the repression assumed a terrifying new scale as the government established an all-seeing high-tech surveillance state. Before long, more than a million people had vanished into a vast network of internment camps. Tahir Hamut Izgil was no stranger to persecution. In 1996, he was arrested trying to leave China, tortured until he confessed to fabricated charges, and sent to a labor camp. But he could never have predicted the government's radical solution to the Uyghur question two decades later. After the mass internment of Uyghurs began, Tahir watched his neighborhood empty out and knew the police would be coming for him soon. 'Waiting to Be Arrested at Night' is the story of the political, social, and cultural destruction of Tahir's homeland. Among leading Uyghur intellectuals, he is the only one known to have escaped China since the mass internments began. His book is a call for the world to awaken to the catastrophe and a tribute to his fellow Uyghurs whose voices have been silenced"--Provided by publisher.

"Tracking an underground language from one family's obsession to the outcasts who spoke it in order to survive. Centuries ago in middle Europe, a coded language appeared, scrawled in graffiti and spoken only by people who were "wiz" (in the know)-vagrants and refugees, merchants and thieves. This hybrid language was rich in expressions for police, jail, or experiencing trouble, such as "being in a pickle." And beginning with Martin Luther, German Protestants who disliked its speakers wanted to stamp it out. The Nazis hated it most of all. As a boy, Martin Puchner learned this secret language through his father and uncle. Only as an adult did he discover, through a poisonous 1930s tract on Jewish names, that his own grandfather, an historian and archivist, had been a committed Nazi who hated everything his sons and grandsons loved about "the language of thieves." Interweaving family memoir with scholarship and an adventurous foray into the politics of language, Puchner crafts an entirely original journey narrative"--Provided by publisher.
