Factory Politics in the People's Republic of China: Rethinking Socialism and Reform in China, cartea 5

Joel Andreas
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 feb 2020
Over the past seven decades—since the 1949 Revolution—every aspect of Chinese society has been profoundly transformed multiple times. No sector has experienced more tumultuous twists and turns than industry. The eight articles contained in this volume examine these twists and turns, focusing on those aspects of industrial relations that involve contention and power, that is, factory politics. They were selected among articles that have appeared in the Chinese journal Open Times (开放时代) over the past decade. Because Open Times has a well-earned reputation for publishing diverse viewpoints, it has been able to attract some of the very best scholarship in China.

Recenzii

"[Factory Politics in China] is fluidly translated and it fills important gaps in existing research. It applies concepts developed by theorists in China and abroad to developments in the “workshop of the world”—and then quietly tweaks those same theories. It alters our understanding of the country’s labour history in significant ways, e.g., by raising the status of the Great Leap Forward and its immediate aftermath and lowering that of the Cultural Revolution and early Reform Era. But most importantly, it introduces a thoughtful, creative, and committed group of scholars who should be followed closely by anyone concerned with social justice and worker power in China or elsewhere." -Manfred Elfstrom, University of British Columbia Okanagan, Kelowna in Pacific Affairs: Vol. 94, No. 3 (Sept. 2021)
