Jackie Sheehan traces the background and development of workers
clashes with the Chinese Communist Party through mass campaigns
such as the 1956-7 Hundred Flowers movement, the Cultural
Revolution, the April Fifth Movement of 1976, Democracy Wall and
the 1989 Democracy Movement. The author provides the most detailed
and complete picture of workers protest in China to date and
locates their position within the context of Chinese political
history. Chinese Workers demonstrates that the image of Chinese
workers as politically conformist and reliable supporters of the
Communist Party does not match the realities of industrial life in
China. Recent outbreaks of protest by workers are less of a
departure from the past than is generally realized.
