Welcome back to Season 2 of our podcast series, Continent of Resistance. Over the next 6 episodes, we will focus on the wave of labor strikes across much of Asia in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Why did so many countries experience simultaneous waves of worker activism within a few years of each other? What triggered these strike waves? What did they share in common? And what lessons can be drawn for future labor organizing?
This week, we are releasing ep.1 and 2 of the series.
