Description

Ming-sho Ho applies Marxist theoretical perspective to understand the postwar trajectory of Taiwan's state-sector workers.

A global and comparative framework is used to examine the particularity of Taiwan's working class.

It revises the stereotypical image of labor docility by showing ethnicity, party-state, and internal labor market produces intra-class divides and generates a variety of workers' resistance even under the repressive rule of one-party authoritarianism.

The book looks at the rise of independent labor movement in the wake of political liberalization in the late 1980s.

The similar current of social movement unionism of South Africa, South Korea and Brazil is also present in this oft-neglected case.

Ho observes how labor activism gradually resides as democracy is consolidated and neo-liberalism becomes the new ideological hegemony.
