From Forest Farm to Sawmill

Meer over het boek

Focusing on oral histories from Fujian, the book explores firsthand accounts of labor and resistance among forestry and wood processing workers against the backdrop of post-revolutionary socialist reforms and China's economic boom post-1990s. It highlights how these workers navigated and subverted state projects, fostering a dialogue that intersects gender studies, labor studies, and environmental studies. Through these narratives, the author sheds light on the complex dynamics of authority and creativity in the face of systemic challenges.
