Conclusion --Methodological Appendix: Fieldwork in Two Provinces --Notes --Bibliography --IndexThis study opens a critical perspective on the slow death of socialism and the rebirth of capitalism in the world's most dynamic and populous country. Based on remarkable fieldwork and extensive interviews in Chinese textile, apparel, machinery, and household appliance factories, Against the Law finds a rising tide of labor unrest mostly hidden from the world's attention. Providing a broad political and economic analysis of this labor struggle together with fine-grained ethnographic detail, the book portrays the Chinese working class as workers' stories unfold in bankrupt state factories and global sweatshops, in crowded dormitories and remote villages, at street protests as well as in quiet disenchantment with the corrupt officialdom and the fledgling legal system.Working classChinaGuangdong ShengWorking classChinaLiaoning ShengDemonstrationsChinaGuangdong ShengDemonstrationsChinaLiaoning Sheng20th century chinese history.21st century chinese history.asian politics.capitalism.china.chinese apparel.chinese household appliances.chinese labor politics.chinese machinery.chinese manufacturing.chinese politics.chinese rustbelt.chinese sunbelt.chinese textile.dagong.danwei.ethnography.factory workers.factory.global sweatshops.historical.labor politics.labor struggle.labor unrest.legal authoritarianism.legal system.politics.revolution.socialism.state socialism.working class.Working classWorking classDemonstrationsDemonstrations331.0951/2785.63bclLee Ching Kwan689496MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810644403321Against the law1522779UNINA
