Description:

New waves of workers’protests and struggles in recent year suggestthat labor relations in China also face inevitable and imminenttransformation. The author draws upon solid fieldwork that looks at the life and community experiences of factory workers around the world to try to understand what impact social relations and the politics of production have  on workers’life and struggles. The book offers some new ideas –such as “pragmatic solidarity”–about labor conditions in contemporary China,, and is a valuable contribution to research on the daily lives of rural migrant workers, class consciousness and collective resistance.
