How did labor NGOs come into existence in contemporary China? 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.
