Review of: Jenny Chan, Mark Selden and Pun Ngai (2020) Dying for an iPhone: Apple, Foxconn, and the Lives of China’s Workers
By Jaesok Kim, Professor of anthropology and chair of the Institute for China Studies, Seoul National University
‘With the transnational shift of manufacturing jobs, consumer awareness of the links between globalised manufacturing and the localised plight of workers grows every day. Because “no one is free when others are oppressed” (p. 201), we should be aware of the hidden connections among multinationals, contract factories, local governments and workers, and think of possible methods to effectively intervene in the tyranny of the buyer-driven business model.’
