Reviews

This is a welcome addition to the literature on worker's protest in that it is firmly grounded in the internal debates around strategy and tactics of the Korean labour movement.]...[The strength of Gray's book is the access he provides to internal labour movement publications and documents that are not readily available to non-Korean speakers. - Jamie Doucette, University of British Columbia, 2010 ...Gray's book on the formation and development of trade unionism in Korea represents an important resource. It deserves a wide audience among scholars interested both in Korean political economy and in a broader set of questions relating to labour movements within conditions of simultaneous transition towards neoliberalism and capitalist democracy. - Iain Pirie; Capital & Class February 2010 34: 146-148
