Shanghai on strike: the politics of Chinese labor
Book • 0
Elizabeth J. Ferry's 'Shanghai on Strike: The Politics of Chinese Labor' examines the emergence and development of labor movements in Shanghai during the 1920s, centering on the 1925 general strike.
The book explores how workers, unions, students, business elites, and criminal organizations interacted in the turbulent urban politics of Republican China.
Ferry uses rich archival sources and eyewitness accounts to reconstruct strike mobilization, tactics, and the social networks that sustained activism.
Her analysis situates the strike within broader processes of national awakening, anti-imperialist sentiment, and the rise of organized labor as a political force.
The work is a key scholarly resource for understanding how the 1925 movement shaped modern Chinese political and labor history.
