|| NEW BOOK ALERT || ‘Proletarian China’, our new book edited by Ivan Franceschini and Christian Sorace, is out! This volume looks back at the changes that took place in Chinese society over the past century from the vantage point of the working class. With each chapter revolving around a specific historical event, the volume is a mosaic of different voices, perspectives, and interpretations of what being a worker meant, and how it was experienced, in China over the past century.
