Based on remarkable fieldwork and extensive interviews in Chinese textile, apparel, machinery, and household appliance factories, \u003ci\u003eAgainst the Law \u003c\/i\u003efinds a rising tide of labor unrest mostly hidden from the world's attention. Providing a broad political and economic analysis of this labor struggle together with fine-grained ethnographic detail, the book portrays the Chinese working class as workers' stories unfold in bankrupt state factories and global sweatshops, in crowded dormitories and remote villages, at street protests as well as in quiet disenchantment with the corrupt officialdom and the fledgling legal system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ching Kwan Lee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520250974\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520250970\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/07\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.05h x 8.90w x 0.82d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLondon Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/28\/2010 pg. 3","brand":"Ching Kwan Lee","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43919945957631,"sku":"9780520250970","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_4da531b9-5e5a-4b07-bc0c-5808c4c4d406.jpg?v=1680812782","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/against-the-law-ching-kwan-lee-9780520250970","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
