Immanuel Ness, PhD, is Professor of Political Science at the City University of New York and Visiting Professor of Sociology at the University of Johannesburg. His books, academic articles and edited volumes focus on workers, trade unions and labor movements, migration, and economic imperialism. He is the author of eight books, including Migration as Economic Imperialism (Polity, 2023). Ness is Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Labor and Society, a peer-reviewed academic journal of global labour and social movements.

"Ness’ volume is a valuable antidote to Western labor scholars who believe that Western trade union movements have historically represented the pinnacle of trade union achievement. Since the author analyzes the Western trade unions’ problems with their current revitalization efforts, perhaps some lessons can be learned from Chinese labor’s recent experiences and be applied to Western trade unions. The objective, of course, is the emancipation of labor. Global South labor scholars, such as Immanuel Ness and Marcel van der Linden, have provided path-breaking scholarly work which might help inspire the revival of Western trade unionism. We should celebrate their efforts."–Victor G. Devinatz, Illinois State University, in: Labor Studies Journal, 1/3 (2026) [DOI: 10.1177/0160449X261480229]"The misrepresentation of the success of Chinese labor unions compared to their U.S. counter-parts fits with a pattern of anti-China discourse and jingoism in the U.S. that is helping to drive forward confrontational policies that could lead to war. In puncturing the official narrative about China, both Sautman and Ness have performed a valuable public service that could lead to a change in public attitudes and foreign policy approaches if many people would read their books."–Jeremy Kuzmarov, in: Covert Action Magazine, 16 October 2026
