China on Strike: Narratives of Workers' Resistance

This book details China’s growing unrest, factory strikes, and labor struggles through first-person accounts.

China, the world’s fastest-growing major economy for three decades, also has some of the largest and most underreported labor struggles. This book is the first English-language book on this topic that provides an intimate look into the lives of workers organizing in China’s most profitable factories, which supply multinational companies like Apple and Nike. Drawing on dozens of interviews with Chinese workers, the book documents migration, changing employment relations, worker culture, and other issues related to China’s explosive growth.
