Ebook: China on Strike: Narratives of Workers’ Resistance

China has been the fastest-growing major economy in the world for three decades. It is also home to some of the largest, most incendiary, and most under-reported labor struggles of our time.

“As these vivid case studies illustrate, China’s enormous factory proletariat is wide awake and fighting back on all fronts.”
— Mike Davis, author of Planet of Slums

“China on Strike ... is a story brilliantly told from migrant workers’ own perspectives.”
— Hsiao-Hung Pai, author of Scattered Sand

“Eye-opening and compelling narratives of China’s new generation of worker-militants and strike leaders make China on Strike a must-read.”
– Paul Mason, economics editor for Channel 4 News

“The struggles of these workers shed light on the future of the labor movement not only in China, but worldwide. This is a must-read book for readers concerned with labor activism and international solidarity!”
– Pun Ngai, author of Migrant Labor in China

“Workers in China are making history. This is the time to read China on Strike, a book about ordinary workers and worker-activists and how they fight for a better world tomorrow.”
— Minqi Li, author of China and the 21st Century Crisis
