Striking to Survive: Workers' Resistance to Factory Relocations in China

By Pun Ngai, Sam Austin, Fan Shigang

Countering the popular myth that Chinese workers are "stealing American jobs," Striking to Survive documents a recent wave of factory closures in China's Pearl River Delta and struggles by workers there to hold on to their jobs, their pensions, and their livelihoods. The struggles of these workers in China's industrial centers are shaping the future of labor and democracy not only in China but throughout the world. These vivid stories of workers at factories that supply the multinational corporations Walmart and Uniqlo, compiled by worker-activists and circulated underground, provide a unique, on-the-ground perspective on the most recent wave of militancy among China's enormous working class.
