In the decades following World War II, factories in many countries
not only provided secure employment and a range of economic
entitlements, but also recognized workers as legitimate
stakeholders, enabling them to claim rights to participate in
decision making and hold factory leaders accountable. In recent
decades, as employment has become more precarious, these attributes
of industrial citizenship have been eroded and workers have
increasingly been reduced to hired hands. As Joel Andreas shows in
Disenfranchised, no country has experienced these changes as
dramatically as China. Drawing on a decade of field research,
including interviews with both factory workers and managers,
Andreas traces the changing political status of workers inside
Chinese factories from 1949 to the present, carefully analyzing how
much power they have actually had to shape their working
conditions.
