Book synopsis

The New Industrial Proletariat: Imperialism, Mobility and Class Struggles in The Global South is the first book to examine the development of working class militancy and rank-and-file workers organizations among production workers in the contemporary era. The spread of global capitalism in the twentieth century has expanded industrial production in rural and urban areas, forcing peasants off the land to live and work in harsh and impoverished conditions in burgeoning industrial zones of the South. This is the first book to critically examine how the expansion of global capital worldwide is buttressed by low-wage production workers and how workers are mobilizing resistance to economic and social insecurity on the job and in their communities. The New Industrial Proletariat demonstrates the significance of newly-industrial workers to the future of class struggles through detailed case histories of worker militancy and strikes in China, India and South Africa.
