The studies in this volume dismiss the myth of the quiescent East Asian worker. Worker activism is not fully explained by familiar models of class consciousness; educational aspirations, family pressures, gender roles, state directives, native-place origins, and clientelist networks have proven as decisive as class consciousness in shaping the behavior of East Asian workers. These workers appear to have been more consumed with the politics of "place" than with a "class" struggle to further their interests.
