When advocacy organizations are forbidden from rallying people to take to the streets, what do they do? When activists are detained for coordinating protests, are their hands ultimately tied? Based on political ethnography inside both legal and blacklisted labor organizations in China, this book reveals how state repression is deployed on the ground and to what effect on mobilization. It presents a novel dynamic of civil society contention – mobilizing without the masses – that lowers the risk of activism under duress. Instead of facilitating collective action, activists coach the aggrieved to challenge authorities one by one. In doing so, they lower the risks of organizing while empowering the weak. This dynamic represents a third pathway of contention that challenges conventional understandings of mobilization in an illiberal state. It takes readers inside the world of underground labor organizing and opens the black box of repression inside the world’s most powerful authoritarian state.

作者给我的感觉是已经带着立场在写(虽然立场或许没有错),情绪叙事都到位了,但一看底座就两根木头。第一部分的背景介绍感觉与第二部分的衔接度不高,对行政体系的研究太少,组织形成与framing都只是简单的以“哪里有压迫,哪里就有反抗”回答,与我的预期有出入,反而是她的讲disguised collective action的论文对我更有启发,或许是没想到以作者书中所写的范围而言,能写成一本书吧……不过…

本书讨论的问题是,在一个非自由的威权政体下,劳工组织是如何实现动员的(换言之,其动员策略为何)。其经验研究是基于20(out of 72)个中国“非法”劳工组织的近两年的实地调查,里面有一些有趣的细节。在理论上,其动员理论不同于既有的两大主流文献,一是作为集体行动的社会抗争动员;二是作为弱者武器的社会抗争动员。Diana认为她所发现的“Mobilizing without the Masses (…
