‘Does a great service by shifting our attention to the oppositional movements of Chinese workers, peasants, students, and women who have contested inequality and exploitation’ – Manfred Elfstrom Tracing the history of left-wing, subversive, and oppositional forces in the People’s Republic of China over the last seventy years, Ralf Ruckus pulls back the curtain on Chinese politics. He looks at the labor strikes in the 1950s, the rebel uprising during the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s, the democracy movements in the 1970s and 1980s, the struggles of urban and migrant workers since the 1990s and 2000s, and women’s forms of resistance until today. Each of these struggles inspired left-wing groups and movements that criticized or challenged the regime of the Chinese Communist Party, from Mao Zedong’s rule to the regime under Xi Jinping.
