Ching Kwan Lee is professor of sociology at the University of California, Los Angeles. She is the author of Gender and the South China Miracle: Two Worlds of Factory Women and Against the Law: Labor Protests in China’s Rustbelt and Sunbelt.
Both Yuk-ling, a busy Hong Kong mother of two, and Chi-ying, a young single woman from a remote village in northern China, work in electronics factories owned by the same foreign corporation, manufacturing identical electronic components. After a decade of job growth and increasing foreign investment in Hong Kong and South China, both women are also participating in the spectacular economic transformation that has come to be called the South China miracle. Yet, as Ching Kwan Lee demonstrates in her unique and fascinating study of women workers on either side of the Chinese-Hong Kong border, the working lives and factory cultures of these women are vastly different.
In this rich comparative ethnography, Lee describes how two radically different factory cultures have emerged from a period of profound economic change. In Hong Kong, "matron workers" remain in factories for decades. In Guangdong, a seemingly endless number of young "maiden workers" travel to the south from northern provinces, following the promise of higher wages. Whereas the women in Hong Kong participate in a management system characterized by "familial hegemony," the young women in Guangdong find an internal system of power based on regional politics and kin connections, or "localistic despotism."
Having worked side-by-side with these women on the floors of both factories, Lee concludes that it is primarily the differences in the gender politics of the two labor markets that determine the culture of each factory. Posing an ambitious challenge to sociological theories that reduce labor politics to pure economics or state power structures, Lee argues that gender plays a crucial role in the cultures and management strategies of factories that rely heavily on women workers.

3.5作为博士论文还不错。我始终认为李静君写书擅长列一个清晰明了的二元框架。同样是针对香港和深圳两地同一家电子加工厂里的女工,香港的女工多属30岁以上有家室的妇女,深圳的女工多属年轻的打工妹。在政治经济波动、缺乏政府介入的情况下,对劳动生产过程中针对女工的不同管理模式进行比较,一个是家庭霸权式familial hegemony和地方专制式local despotism,前者依靠相对宽松的适应家庭的工作时长低薪雇佣女工,后者依赖老乡人脉进行区别式管理、垄断上升途径。此书基于马克思的生产理论、女权主义的性别理论和中国工厂的民族志研究,深受其老师布洛维的影响,但这种比较框架本身是否会有局限呢?边读边想Agile manufacturing,投资人若无法洞悉历史变迁下资本运转的逻辑是很难成气候的。M
评分补,劳工社会学阅读材料,迄今印象深刻

评分李静君1993年做的香港/深圳女工比较研究,劳动过程与生产政治概念之下由丰富的个案提出两地不同管理模式:家庭霸权式和地方专制式,又加上性别视角,不仅谈压制也谈巧妙抗争。丰富之余,我暂觉得是有许多想象,希望以后澄清。
