Capitalism and imperialism. The industrial proletariat of the global south -- Migration and the reserve army of labor -- Part II. Case studies. India : neoliberal industrialization, class formation, and mobilization -- China : state capitalism, foreign investment, and worker insurgency -- South Africa : post-apartheid labor militancy in the mining sector -- Conclusion.The site of industrial struggle is shifting. The West needs to look further if it wants to understand how workers' self-organization is developing in countries it too often ignores. Across the Global South, peasant communities are forced off the land to live and work in harsh and impoverished conditions. Inevitably, new methods of combating the spread of industrial capitalism are evolving in ambitious, militant and creative ways. Southern Insurgency will lead the way in examining these organizations in the contemporary era. Immanuel Ness looks at three key countries: China, India and South Africa. In each case he considers the broader historical forces at play -- the effects of imperialism, the decline of the trade union movement, the class struggle and the effects of the growing reserve army of labor. For each case study, he narrows his focus to reveal the specifics of each grassroots insurgency: the militancy of the miners in South Africa, the new labor organizations in India and export promotion and the rise of worker insurgency in China. A result of intensive, dedicated firsthand research, at the heart of Southern Insurgency is a study of the nature of the new industrial proletariat in the Global South - a terrifying, precarious existence - but also one of experimentation, solidarity and struggle. -- Provided by publisher.Wildcat (Pluto Press)Working classDeveloping countriesLabor unionsDeveloping countriesWorking classWorking classSouth AfricaWorking classIndiaWorking classChinaRace relationsDiscriminationDeveloping countriesSOCIAL SCIENCE / Discrimination & Race RelationsbisacshSOCIAL SCIENCE / Minority StudiesbisacshDiscriminationfast(OCoLC)fst00894985Labor unionsfast(OCoLC)fst00990260Race relationsfast(OCoLC)fst01086509Working classfast(OCoLC)fst01180418Klassenkampfgnd(DE-588)4130866-9(DE-603)085464503Arbeiterbewegunggnd(DE-588)4002581-0(DE-603)084998148Gewerkschaftgnd(DE-588)4020872-2(DE-603)085050695ChinafastDeveloping countriesfastIndiafastSouth AfricafastIndiengndChinagndSüdafrikagndElectronic books.Working classLabor unionsWorking class.Working classWorking classWorking classRace relations.DiscriminationSOCIAL SCIENCE / Discrimination & Race Relations.SOCIAL SCIENCE / Minority Studies.Discrimination.Labor unions.Race relations.Working class.Klassenkampf.Arbeiterbewegung.Gewerkschaft.305.562091724Ness Immanuel864151MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910632698503321Southern insurgency2991298UNINA
