China and Globalization in the Amazon examines Chinese investment
in the Global South, with particular attention to industrial
activity in Latin America. Based on ethnographic work conducted in
several Chinese factories in the Amazon region of Brazil, whether
private, partially private, or state-owned, it explores the impact
of these factories on the lives of workers, specifically on wages,
laws, and labor benefits, as well as the relationship between
management and workers. Drawing on interviews with Brazilian
workers, expatriate Chinese workers, union leaders, and factory
managers, the author identifies a Chinese production model and
sheds light on the implementation of externally defined work
regimes that showed little engagement with the workforce in the
region, together with practices that resulted in a technical or
bureaucratic relationship with the worker, and the emergence of
lower wages than the local average, as well as few concessions on
labor benefits. A study of Chinese globalization and industrial
expansion in the developing world, and the reactions of workers to
the Chinese model of management, this volume will be of interest to
scholars of the sociology of work and organizations, globalization,
development studies, and politics.
