Through interviews with employees, organizers, journalists, and officials, as well as evidence from government reports and underground protest materials, this book analyzes a broad range of workers' experiences on the factory floor and in their dormitories. Evidence demonstrates that, at critical times, shared cultural ties have propelled Vietnamese workers toward \"class moments\" inspiring them to fight collectively for their rights. Tran's detailed investigation shows that labor activism is a hallmark of modern Vietnam. This work addresses key questions about global commerce and the factory workers who sustain it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tran Ngoc Angie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0877277923\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780877277927\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Southeast Asia Program Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.20h x 7.20w x 1.10d","brand":"Tran Ngoc Angie","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48153131352319,"sku":"9780877277927","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_efa3dd06-5da9-48b6-bf43-8252145e1f06.jpg?v=1770781496","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ties-that-bind-tran-ngoc-angie-9780877277927","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
