//-->Chinese WorkersIndependent Chinese workers’ organizations took a leading role in the 1989Democracy Movement. They also suffered heavily for their political dissent inthe crackdown that followed, but attempts to form independent trade unionshave continued into the 1990s.Jackie Sheehan traces the background and development of workers’ clashes withthe Chinese Communist Party through mass campaigns such as the 1956–7Hundred Flowers movement, the Cultural Revolution, the April Fifth movementof 1976, Democracy Wall and the 1989 Democracy Movement. The authorprovides the most detailed and complete picture of workers’ protest in China todate and locates their position within the context of Chinese political history.Chinese Workersdemonstrates that the image of Chinese workers as politicallyconformist and reliable supporters of the Communist Party does not match therealities of industrial life in China. Recent outbreaks of protest by workers areless of a departure from the past than is generally realized.Jackie Sheehanis a lecturer in international history at the University of Keele.Routledge Studies in the Modern History of AsiaThe Police in Occupation JapanControl, corruption and resistance to reformChristopher AldousChinese WorkersA new historyJackie SheehanThe Aftermath of Partition in South AsiaTan Tai Yong and Gyanesh KudaisyaChinese WorkersA new historyJackie SheehanLondon and New YorkFirst published 1998 by Routledge11 New Fetter Lane, London EC4P 4EEThis edition published in the Taylor & Francis e-Library, 2002.Simultaneously published in the USA and Canadaby Routledge29 West 35th Street, New York, NY 10001© 1998 Jackie SheehanAll rights reserved.
