This book was first published in 2009. 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.
