Description

Jackie Sheehan's comprehensive examination traces the evolution of worker movements and confrontations with the Chinese Communist Party across pivotal historical moments, including the 1956-7 Hundred Flowers movement, the Cultural Revolution, the April Fifth Movement of 1976, Democracy Wall, and the 1989 Democracy Movement. This scholarly work provides the most detailed and complete picture of workers' protest in China available, positioning labour struggles within the broader context of Chinese political history. Sheehan challenges the conventional narrative that portrays Chinese workers as politically passive and reliable Communist Party supporters, revealing a far more complex and activist reality. Essential reading for historians, political scientists, and anyone seeking to understand the authentic role of Chinese labour movements in shaping modern Chinese society and politics.
