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.
太稚嫩、格局太小了,除在中层加入介于组织与个体间的“无大众动员”外没有理论深度,大概看到倘若我本科直升读博做民族志的后果。上篇笼统地谈了劳工NGO,纵向中央和地方政府、横向不同政府机构对NGO的分散化管控,政府购买社会服务来促使竞争和收编管控。下篇对微观集体行动、个体化有幕后指导的行动、离散性行动三种策略的比较见P91,第一被直接镇压关停,第二采用个体威胁式行为达成诉求相对可行,第三用非暴力合作的文艺手段非常和谐。但是从零星的个体/组织行动到工人集体意识的启蒙到反权威政体意识的觉醒到对民主自由大众动员的乐观,这几步跳的太大了!一边是激进团体地下化去组织化的策略,一边是劳工在组织培训下参与个体抗争,两者完全没有融汇并切入政治+组织社会学理论核心,穿插的四个NGO案例毫无理论比较意义 M
评分第六章-atomized action原来都是为了达成目的导演好的。有的时候的确需要撒泼,像李敖讲的,缠着他,粘着他,折腾他,让他为我们服务。
评分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……不过我语言水平有限,看得比较敷衍,希望没有太多误读吧。

评分the writing is good, but the research is overly simple
