The site of industrial struggle is shifting. Across the Global
South, peasant communities are forced off the land to live and work
in harsh and impoverished conditions. Inevitably, new methods of
combating the spread of industrial capitalism are evolving in
ambitious, militant and creative ways. This is the first book to
theorise and examine the present and future shape of global class
struggles. Immanuel Ness looks at three key countries: China, India
and South Africa. In each case he considers the broader historical
forces at play - the effects of imperialism, the decline of the
trade union movement, the class struggle and the effects of the
growing reserve army of labour. For each case study, he narrows his
focus to reveal the specifics of each grassroots insurgency: export
promotion and the rise of worker insurgency in China, the new
labour organisations in India, and the militancy of the miners in
South Africa. This is a study about the nature of the new
industrial worker in the Global South; about people living a
terrifying, precarious existence - but also one of experimentation,
solidarity and struggle.
