Workers' Democracy in China w/ Yueran Zhang

  • Summary

  • We are back after a long hiatus, with a brilliant guest to discuss China, a topic many of our listeners have long asked us to cover.

    Our guest is Yueran Zhang is a PhD student in sociology at UC-Berkeley studying workers democracy movements in China, particularly in the 1970s-1980s.

    This episode was initially intended to be focused on the specific era of workers' self-organization in the late 1970s-1980s, but our guest also gave a brilliant schematic overview of the Chinese Revolution, the Mao era, the Deng led 'reform' period and how workers organized throughtout, all the way up to the present. This episode therefore serves as a great introduction to PRC politics generally.
