Why has the contemporary Chinese labor activism failed to engender transformative social and political change? One obvious answer is the authoritarian state’s neoliberal and technological fix and continuously ramped up efforts to stifle labor movements. This article, however, takes the focus back to workers themselves. Drawing from fieldwork studies, it examines workers and activists’ resistance, focusing on their everyday interpretation of the source of their problems, prospects for a labor movement, and their sense of solidarity. It argues that Chinese workers have not acquired sufficient cognitive strength to become the much-hoped-for agent of political change.</jats:p
Moving Beyond Identity: The Tibet Question Revisited
No full textThis research paper explores the discursive construction of China and Tibet’s national
identity, and how it interrelates with China-Tibet relations. In contrast to studies suggesting a
defining and determinant role of national identity on China-Tibet relations, this research paper
argues that the collective identity of Tibet and China is a hegemonic and highly contested
construction, and Tibet and China, therefore, should look beyond identity and search for an
alternative approach to nation/state building without succumbing to either Chinese
nationalism or Tibetan nationalism. Drawing on the work of some of the critical theorists, this
research paper shows that it is bound to fail to build a political community based on a
collective national identity. This research paper proposes that the authorities of Tibet and
China should negotiate for future institutional reform of the Tibet Question by the recognition
of the contingent identities of the multitude
