In third world countries an increasing number of people have been
drawn into the process of industrialization as wage workers. Only
when confronted with their practices, strategies and struggles can
the competing and contradictory policies they face at the level of
capital and state be explained. Consequently, the empirical
analyses here presented cover the limits set by workers to
exploitation in workshop production, ethnicity as a workers'
strategy, the role of workers' absenteeism and turnover, and labour
strategies in a situation of recession and de-industrialisation.
Using a historical approach labour migration, union strategy for
democratisation, and the world-scale pattern of labour unrest are
studied as outcomes of social conflict. Some of the chapters in
this book focus on single events in a factory, others on a branch
or a region in a long-time perspective. They all contribute to an
empirical and theoretical investigation of the impact of industrial
workers' actions on societies in transition. They also share the
same urge to look beneath the surface in order to find the unnamed,
and to understand how they make history.
