China and Globalization in the Amazon explores Chinese investment in the Global South, particularly focusing on industrial activity in Latin America. Through ethnographic research conducted in various Chinese factories in the Amazon region of Brazil, including private, partially private, and state-owned entities, the book delves into the impact of these factories on the lives of workers, encompassing wages, laws, and labor benefits. It also examines the relationship between management and workers. Drawing from interviews with Brazilian workers, expatriate Chinese workers, union leaders, and factory managers, the author identifies a Chinese production model and sheds light on the implementation of externally defined work regimes that showed limited engagement with the local workforce. Additionally, practices emerged that resulted in a technical or bureaucratic relationship with the worker, leading to lower wages than the local average and limited concessions on labor benefits. This study offers valuable insights into Chinese globalization and industrial expansion in developing countries, as well as the responses of workers to the Chinese model of management. It will appeal to scholars of sociology of work and organizations, globalization, development studies, and politics.
