Proletarian Power: Shanghai In The Cultural Revolution (TransitionsAsia and Asian America),New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This pathbreaking book offers the first indepth study of Chinese labor activism during the momentous upheaval of the Cultural Revolution. The authors explore three distinctive forms of workingclass protest: rebellion, conservatism, and economism. Labor, they argue, was working at crosspurposes through these three modes of militancy promoted by different types of leaders with differing agendas and motivations. Drawing upon a wealth of heretofore inaccessible archival sources, the authors probe the divergent political, psychocultural, and socioeconomic strains within the Shanghai labor movement. As they convincingly illustrate, the multiplicity of worker responses to the Cultural Revolution cautions against a onedimensional portrait of workingclass politics in contemporary China.
