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. 606 $aWorking class$zChina$zGuangdong Sheng 606 $aWorking class$zChina$zLiaoning Sheng 606 $aDemonstrations$zChina$zGuangdong Sheng 606 $aDemonstrations$zChina$zLiaoning Sheng 610 $a20th century chinese history. 610 $a21st century chinese history. 610 $aasian politics. 610 $acapitalism. 610 $achina. 610 $achinese apparel. 610 $achinese household appliances. 610 $achinese labor politics. 610 $achinese machinery. 610 $achinese manufacturing. 610 $achinese politics. 610 $achinese rustbelt. 610 $achinese sunbelt. 610 $achinese textile. 610 $adagong. 610 $adanwei. 610 $aethnography. 610 $afactory workers. 610 $afactory. 610 $aglobal sweatshops. 610 $ahistorical. 610 $alabor politics. 610 $alabor struggle. 610 $alabor unrest. 610 $alegal authoritarianism. 610 $alegal system. 610 $apolitics. 610 $arevolution. 610 $asocialism. 610 $astate socialism. 610 $aworking class. 615 0$aWorking class 615 0$aWorking class 615 0$aDemonstrations 615 0$aDemonstrations 676 $a331.0951/27 686 $a85.63$2bcl 700 $aLee$b Ching Kwan$0689496 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810644403321 996 $aAgainst the law$91522779 997 $aUNINA
