Countering the popular myth that Chinese workers are “stealing American jobs,” the book Striking to Survive documents a recent wave of factory closures in China’s Pearl River Delta and struggles by workers there to hold onto 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 there but throughout the world. These stories of workers at factories that supply multinational corporations like Walmart, secretly compiled by worker-activists, provide a unique perspective on the most recent wave of militancy among China’s enormous working class.
