Modern China Lecture Series featuring Selda Altan — Chinese Workers of the World: Colonialism, Chinese Labor, and the Yunnan–Indochina Railway

November 5 @ 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm(北京时间:2024年11月6日)


Speaker: Selda Altan, Assistant Professor of History, Randolph College
This talk explores labor conflicts during the construction of the French railway between China and Vietnam (1898–1910) as an episode in the emergence of Chinese workers as a global working class. Drawing on Chinese, French, and English sources, the discussion reveals how inter-colonial competition for cheap labor and the global circulation of anti-Chinese discourses shaped labor market dynamics in China. These developments set the stage for labor to emerge as a radical force in Chinese politics.
本讲座探讨了法国修建中越铁路(1898-1910 年)期间的劳资冲突,将其视为中国工人作为全球工人阶级崛起的一个插曲。通过中、法、英三国的资料,讨论揭示了殖民地之间对廉价劳动力的争夺以及反华言论的全球传播如何塑造了中国的劳动力市场动态。这些发展为劳工成为中国政治中的激进力量奠定了基础。
