Knowledge Workers in Contemporary China: Reform, and Resistance in
the Publishing Industry concentrates on the trajectories of the
labor process transformation of knowledge workers, mainly editors,
in the Chinese publishing industry. The book focuses on their
changing social, economic, and political roles, their dilemma,
challenges, and opportunities associated with current social
reform, and China's integration into the global political economy.
At its core, the book addresses three different yet interrelated
processes of the political economy of communication:
commodification, structuration, and spatialization in the Chinese
publishing industry. It examines whether worker organizations and
trade unions are effective in presenting editors' legitimate rights
and interests in current publishing reform. Through the political
economic analysis of knowledge workers in China's publishing
industry, particularly editors, Jianhua Yao attempts to help
readers better understand the broader social and economic
transformations, specifically the network of power relations and
institutional contexts in which Chinese editors are situated, that
have been taking place in China since the late 1970s.
