While millions in China have been advantaged by three decades of
reform, impressive gains have also produced social dislocation.
Groups that had been winners under socialism find themselves losers
in the new order. Based on field research in nine cities across
China, this fascinating study considers the fate of one such group
- 35 million workers laid off from the state-owned sector. The book
explains why these lay-offs occurred, how workers are coping with
unemployment, what actions the state is taking to provide them with
livelihoods and re-employment, and what happens when workers
mobilize collectively to pursue redress of their substantial
grievances. What happens to these people, the remnants of the
socialist working class, will be critical in shaping post-socialist
politics and society in China and beyond.
