How do labor activists act - or not act - when the limits of state tolerance are unclear? With a focus on labor NGOs in South China and Western funding agencies, this book sets out to address these questions by investigating the dynamics of state control in post-socialist China since the 1970s, in which rapid economic and social transformations have cultivated an environment of uncertainty. Taking uncertainty as an analytical space, productive of emergent practices and discourses, this book draws on original fieldwork and interviews to study the lived experiences of different actors throughout the labor NGO community, the foreign donors trying to bring about change, and the networks of social relationships being strategically reconfigured. Doing Labor Activism in South China offers an ethnography of the Chinese state that reveals an intimate and complicit modality of self-governing, demonstrating how neoliberal ideas are at once represented by international development and deflected in grassroots development. It will be useful to students and scholars of Social Anthropology and Urban Ethnography, as well as Political Science and Chinese Studies more generally"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Labor movement $z China. 650 0 $a Labor unions $z China. 650 0 $a Non-governmental organizations $z China. 651 0 $a China $x Economic policy $y 1949- 651 0 $a China $x Economic conditions $y 1949- 650 7 $a Economic history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901974 650 7 $a Economic policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902025 650 7 $a Labor movement. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00990079 650 7 $a Labor unions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00990260 650 7 $a Non-governmental organizations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01038524 651 7 $a China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 650 7 $0 (FrPBN)11963283 $a Syndicats $0 (FrPBN)11963283 $z Chine. $2 ram 650 7 $0 (FrPBN)11963283 $a Mouvement ouvrier $0 (FrPBN)11963283 $z Chine. $2 ram 650 7 $0 (FrPBN)12135566 $a Politique economique $z Chine $y 1949-.... $2 ram 650 7 $0 (FrPBN)12126769 $a Conditions economiques $z Chine $y 1949-.... $2 ram 648 7 $a Since 1949 $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Pan, Darcy. $s Laboring through uncertainty $t Doing labor activism in south China $d Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2020 $z 9780367810092 $w (DLC) 2020007722 830 0 $a Routledge contemporary China series ; $v 215. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018025147.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9B20B338403511EB87AA299C42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
