Marc Blecher presents a seminal analysis of the development of the urban working class in China. Chinese workers have been the subjects of a great deal of analysis by scholars, documentation by journalists and activists, and portrayal by writers, filmmakers, and artists. The Making of China’s Working Class: A World to Lose seeks the foundation for all this in three questions: What kind of class is China’s working class? What are the historical forces and processes that have formed it? And how does the pattern of class formation help explain the working class’s reactions historically, presently, and prospectively?
Blecher offers a contribution not just to scholarship on Chinese labor politics, but on the country’s politics and the state’s hegemony more widely as well as to comparative labor politics. Combining usefulness, thoroughness, and clarity, The Making of China’s Working Class is an outstanding resource for educators and students, a bookshelf staple for understanding Chinese politics and comparative working class politics.
